<p>any thoughts are appreciated</p>

2

<p>As good as any although I honestly don't see it =/ </p>

<p>I think your profile lacks a really strong passion in something, unless it's leadership...but a lot of people have that too. good luck!</p>

3

<p>i don't see it, dear ='(</p>

<p>like i said nothing big just wanted to be complete</p>

6

<p>UT Scholar-Athlete ... puts you in San Diego, no?</p>

7

<p>well maybes
i dunno
the reason why i said no is because you don't really seem to have significant activities
but
you do have a 4.0, and a high SAT score
the problems i see involve your mediocre SAT 2 scores (as you said) and that weirdly low AP score</p>

<p>but you do have eagle scout
and that's really good</p>

<p>so who knows!!!!!!!!!</p>

8

<p>well you don't have to put the AP score... how many years of varsity were you on those sports? and how dedicated were you? if your essays are solid, I think you may have a pretty good shot, but its always a crapshoot</p>

9

<p>i think i do because theyre going to see it on the official score report anyway (regardless, i already applied so its too late to rectify it...)
i was on varsity soccer from 10th grade on
same for track
i also play intense club soccer like 10 hours/week and indoor soccer 2 hours/week so im pretty dedicated to it
thanks for your input by the way</p>

10

<p>and socal girl, youre right. you too i assume?</p>

11

<p>bump. i have to pass the time somehow</p>

12

<p>bump...again</p>

13

<p>from san diego? what high school?</p>

14

<p>you are a pretty good applicant with strong test scores. i don't see a real drive in your ECs though. so i guess with that, your application decision should be dependent upon your recommendations and essays.</p>

15

<p>Accepted!!!!</p>

16

<p>congrats, for your sake I'm glad I was wrong! :)</p>
