You already a applied, right? I don’t think you probably helped yourself by telling the schools about getting kicked out of your 8th grade program. It won’t be on your HS record, and having gotten into a fight with your father isn’t going to encourage colleges to accept you.

Nice ACT score, but you don’t give your GPA. Sounds like you have had some grade issues senior year and your course rigor isn’t high – I don’t envision that you will be accepted to most of the schools on your list. What is your GPA as they calculate for UC admissions? Can you afford out of state tuition – you must be OOS for either UT or the UCs?

Your chances are mostly set by the apps you already submitted. If you have significant EC accomplishments since applying, email admissions with that info and ask them to consider it with the rest of your application. There isn’t much else you can do.

It isn’t a great idea to use your real name in a post, by the way.
