<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.9
ACT: 27 (Pretty high in Reading/Writing/English protion with a 32 composite score, a little above average in everything else.) Writing: 10 out of 12</p>
<h2>Class Rank: 14 out of 548</h2>
<p>I have taken nine AP/Accelerated Honors classes in high school. (Three years of Accelerated Honors English, AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP Biology, AP Government, AP English, Honors Jazz/Small Ensemble.)</p>
<h2>AP exam scores so far through junior year: 5 on U.S. History, 5 on Psychology</h2>
<p>Extra-Curricular Activities:
Marching Band-Four years of participation, thirty plus hours per week for a semester (Practices, competitions, pep band, etc.). I am also a section leader for the saxophone section (Organize section practices, events, etc.).</p>
<p>Jazz Band-Four years of voluntary participation, three to five hours per week for both semesters.</p>
<h2>Volunteer at the local conuty park's nature center as an educator-Two and a half years of participation, roughly five to six hours per week.</h2>
<p>I consider myself to be a fairly strong writer, so I'm not worried about my essays. I am also an in-state resident and have two letters of recommendation, if any of these things matter.</p>
<p>I have heard that Madison has a pretty quirky system of accepting and declining students (i.e. A 3.4 GPA 24 ACT student gets accepted over a 3.9 GPA 32 ACT student with more extra-curricular activities) and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to how this works.</p>
<p>Finally, based on all of the info here, what are my chances? Mediocre? Good? Any advice is helpful. Thanks!</p>
