one more thought: If you played soccer in France or some other country that doesn’t speak English, market yourself as someone who will study that language and culture while at Harvard. That’s something you can bring to the classroom that will be rare–you’ve actually lived in Europe and interacted with people.

Once you get in, you can always change your mind if you find that’s not what you’re really interested in studying, but you want to play up what experiences you have and how they would be a valuable addition to the university.
