<p>It is too soon to chance you since you have not taken tests yet. You likely need to get really good grades this semester and first semester senior year, but a lot depends on you SAT's. Don't obcess or anything, but getting good scores is important. No matter what schools say, they look at these fairly heavily. So keep at it, work extra hard. Make sure you get everything you submit proofread. Of course typos happen here on CC (and who cares), but they can be deadly on applications if there are more than one or two. Good luck!</p>

<p>mhm - You have art and music, just not in-school. And IMO you also have a pre-college program --- isn't that what AP/IB really is? What you don't have are test scores, a major, and an explanation of why you switched from private HS to public HS. Of these, your ACT/SAT scores are by far the most important as falllenchemist pointed out. Good luck!</p>
