Well, a 99% chance of admission would certainly be nice. Mainly worried about balancing sport and academics right now, in case it doesn’t quite work out. Because otherwise, I won’t quite have a backup plan.
My athletic level is good, but not exceptionally outstanding. I am quite high in national rankings, I have had podium finishes in national competitions, and was nominated into the national team this year. However, I do not have an international ranking, which I heard was a prerequisite for international selections of athletes. I am also unsure what my level domestically would mean when put up against American peers. That’s why I’m a bit uncertain to go this way.
