What are our chances of getting in to our school of choice?

What are my chances of getting into Whitney M. Young High School (Chicago)?

• Okay, so I've narrowed down my realistic options and I want to put Whitney Young as my first choice for high school. As for what I know, they count just your math, reading, social science and science grades of the 7th grade, your Isats from the 7th grade, your attendance, and your entrance exam. I didn't do as well as I thought I would on my Isats... but I did do better than some people. I got 82 percentile in Reading, 99 in Math, and 87 in Science. Percentile is not the percent you got correct, it's the percent of the other students in your grade in the nation that got lower scores than you/ you achieved better than they did. Two of them were Exeeds Standards, one was at the top of Meets Standards. I got all A's for the subjects that they count. I had one excused absence and one tardy. (I don't think excused absences count, though.) Now I just have my entrance exam. What are the chances, honestly, you think I have of getting in this school?
