<p>You’re looking decent: about half of the people from my school with comparable stats were accepted.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, was your WYSE award at State (300 division, of course)?</p>

<p>Thanks! And unfortunately no, it was just at regionals. Did you take any WYSE tests?</p>

<p>Yes, I placed at State in the Unlimited division for English and Chemistry.</p>
