Dude, magnet schools aren't THAT hard to get into. I don't even know why you ask about your chances. You're a shoo-in.

Any other people applying to Magnet Schools? If so, list stats.

Let me give you some advice. Have some fun in High school. It's not all trying to get into an Ivy league school. Hell, you're applying for a HIGH SCHOOL. Go do something crazy, fun, stupid or any combination of three. You only get to go through High school once. Stay smart, but have fun.

Yea, basketball is tight, but the magnet school I'm applying to doesn't have athletic teams. That really sucks.
