<p>I go to a very prestigious private high school in texas (it has a 15% student acceptance rate)
and the classes (even regular ones) are very difficult. However, my low grades starting off are because I put in low effort. My GPA is on a funky 12-point scale, so I'm going to list my classes and my grades. A star means an honors or AP class was offered but I didnt take it, an H means an honors class I took. Also, my school only gives year grades.</p>

(and im pulling all A's this year so far)</p>
<p>As you can see, I have taken easy classes up until senior year, where im taking 6 AP's.</p>
<p>SAT: 2250</p>
<p>EC's:
Im not going to list them all, but they are about average, the main points being that ive published a paper in a medical journal and i have made all-regions and all-area on the french horn.</p>
<p>So, because of the my grades starting so low and improving, and a high sat score, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out where I stand against other applicants. I've already applied/applying to colleges, I just want to know what places I could reach with my stats. </p>
<p>Chances for:
Tulane
Carnegie Mellon
Furman
Pepperdine
Boston College
Syracuse
Vanderbilt
Tufts
Texas A&M University
LSU</p>
