<p>I dunno about every one else, but your stats sound very good. The only problem i can see is... you dont have an SAT score. If you havent taken it yet, you should soon, bc it is a highly considered part of you admissions</p>

3

<p>also, what did you do to become a part of Teen Court????</p>

4

<p>I'm not using my SAT score because it is significantly lower than my ACT. I think my ACT score equates to about 1480/1600 on the SAT. </p>

<p>I think to join teen court I just got an application off of their website.</p>

5

<p>At face value your chances look decent but any idea about where you rank? It is so hard to know otherwise just because a 3.8 at one school is very different than at another.</p>

6

<p>My class only has 60ish kids in it. It's a small and very competitive charter school.</p>

<p>no worries about rank....similiar situation to yours, my HS didn't rank officially they sent a letter with transcript to any college you applied to informing them of this. When I was doing this "whole dog and pony show" that is college applications they still sent out an estimated rank, but I've heard they don't even do that now and people from my HS still end up here every year. </p>

<p>reads like you've got pretty good shot...good luck</p>
