Hello...and congratulation to everybody...

I'm new in this advanced standing matter and after I sow your scores and the fact that you are already accepted to college for class 2008, even 2009 I'm totally confused...

Could you tell me please what would be my chances to go to school if I will apply in the next few weeks? After I have read your thread my impression is that 2008 class is already full...and maybe 2009 class also...Should I start thinking about 2010 class...if I will be accepted...which is another story...

Congratulation again...for me you are something like 'American Idol'...
