10th grade: gpa=3.793(uw)/3.999(w) Rank = 55/317(w) and 44/317 (uw)
11th grade: gpa=3.88(uw)/4.108(W) Rank = 41/317 (w) and 30/317 (uw)
12th grade: .Hon speech/comp (Ap english was cancelled) -- it's a college in high school program
.Hon Spanish (does not offer AP)
.AP gov/econ
.Hon Physics (college in high school)
.Hon trig/college algebra

<p>You will not get in with a 25. However, only your SAT/ACT score is preventing you from being a good candidate.</p>

<p>Reinforcing jkh411's comments... only 36% of applicants submit ACT scores (about 93% submit SAT scores, with some applicants submitting both obviously). For enrolled students who submitted ACT scores, the 25th percentile score was "29" -- meaning that your current ACT score of 25 falls well below the 25th percentile. Your GPA and EC's look very solid.</p>

<p>thank you for the responses!</p>

<p>Your best strategy is to really emphasize your interest in music. Perhaps apply for the Dean's Music Scholarship. Without that, I don't think your chances are very good. </p>
