7. Has anyone gone to Redlands in El Reno?

   ornery2athome replied to Tricia76's topic in Oklahoma

    Looks like you have some awesome numbers. Like the above post, it all depends on the talent pool that applied. I think you have a great chance, but my opinion doesn't matter. I am also waiting for a letter for a college in Oklahoma. Good luck to you!
