<p>Pretty good shot if you were in state, I’d say, but in my view long shot for out of state. The test scores are solid and the grades and class rank are good, but the courseload isn’t real strong and the extras are weak. Why only four AP classes (in the generally “lighter” classes) when the school offers nine?</p>
