<p>somebody has to have some idea…</p>

3

<p>You will probably get in.</p>

<p>Are you good enough to be recruited at soccer?</p>

4

<p>ED will help, so if its your top choice definitely go that route. You look like a solid applicant though</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the compliment, I mean I’m not terrible, I’m pretty decent, but my High school team isn’t that great, and no I don’t think that I would be recruited for D1 soccer. But without that, do you think I have a decent shot?</p>

6

<p>Get your sat up to 2310 or above.</p>

7

<p>^Not necessary at all. Sure a higher SAT might help, but if you look at the accepted students in the FB group or on here, lots of us had SATs below 2310. SATs/ACTs really aren’t everything, once you hit a threshold the extra points really dont matter too. My friends got into Harvard with 1800-2100s this year too.</p>
