<p>I'd try and get your class rank higher...and your ecs seem alright. Maybe try and get that plumber journey man thing...that could help you stand out if you played it right in your essay's or something. Otherwise, I'd say pretty decent shot...as long as you score good on your SAT and SATIIs.</p>

<p>The only problem is my class rank won't go any higher. The way my school district works is that you are identified as "talented and gifted" in 3rd grade and are on an accelerated course through high school. Those kids are the only ones who can take APs their sophomore year. I wasn't in the school district until high school so I couldn't take any APs until junior year. If they get B's, that's the only way I can move up, and they haven't yet.</p>
