<p>What I’m really worried about is I went to boarding school for a year and a half (Interlochen Arts Academy) b/c I was preparing to major in clarinet performance; I was expelled for drug use (I was really dumb…) and I came back to my current school. I was too late to get into any NHS or anything, and I don’t have a whole bunch of ECs</p>

<p>you have a great chance! all your stats seem to be above par</p>

<p>Everything looks good except…being expelled for drug use. And interview is not too big of a deal…actually maybe you want to have an interview to explain why you got expelled and show that you matured</p>

<p>Yeah, I made a point to address it in my essays. Because I have definitely matured and I’m actually a way better person because I was expelled. So hopefully that’ll help. Thanks!!!</p>
