<p>Hello,</p>

<p>There's an edit button to the bottom right of your original post; better change it before you get flamed. (:</p>

<p>the edit button is disabled after 20 minutes (or something like that), so he couldn't have changed it.</p>

<p>no worries, nobody should flame you. I mean, you even spelled caltech correctly :D</p>

<p>as for chances, why not apply and find out?</p>

<p>You should apply, if you want to come to Tech. Your chem stuff suggests that you would have a reasonable chance. You seem to be much more focused on music though, which is why I still say sure, apply, but you might more interested in other colleges that can offer you better music programs. Caltech certainly has options for you to play piano and play in orchestra, but you might be better served by schools with better music programs. Depends on what you want to do, really.</p>
