<p>Great Essays, Great recommendations</p>

<p>what do you think?</p>

2

<p>have you even talked to the coaches? they will tell you, not us.</p>

3

<p>yeah ive talked to coaches. if i get my time down a little then i can get recruited. but i want chances based off of if im not going to get recruited</p>

4

<p>If you’re not a recruit, that 1920 SAT score is gonna put JHU out of reach.</p>

5

<p>Do you hold any records or awards in swimming? If you just, well, swim on a team, that doesn’t mean anything.</p>

6

<p>Is this for this application season? The coaches mostly already know who they’ll be supporting.</p>

<p>The first 6 schools on your list will be tough without higher scores.</p>

7

<p>yeah, many of your schools will be tough based on your standardized testing scores</p>

<p>but i think you definitely have a chance (assuming your transcript is solid since it looks like you challenge yourself in school)</p>

8

<p>sorry for late response</p>

<p>im captain of my team. and i have an agreement with jhu coach concerning my recruitment. if i can better my times a little.</p>

<p>im taking act this saturday and shooting for 31 or 32 will i have a more solid chance at only reporting the act?</p>

9

<p>Yeah well it’s a little too late to better your times don’t you think? If the school was serious about recruiting you, it’d be set by now.</p>

10

<p>not according to coaches… thanks for your reply</p>

<p>what do you think my chances are aside from athletic recruitment, mainly at jhu, UCSD, USC, UCLA, and columbia (i have a LOT of connections here and high standing alumni who love me)</p>

<p>wanted to point out i plan on majoring in neuroscience. and i intern with a top surgeon in the OR physically every week. </p>

<p>any other schools youd suggest?</p>

11

<p>whatre your times? im a senior this year trying to get recruited for swimming also.</p>

12

<p>UCLA doesn’t have a men’s swim team. Good luck with the rest. Do you have junior national times? Most coaches want them. USC would most likely not even respond without them.</p>

13

<p>You have a lot of confidence in the unusual-coaches waiting on better times, alumni connections getting you into Columbia with sub par stats. It my be time to get real so you can form a real list based on the reality of your stats. I say this as a former college counselor who saw many only get real when it was too late to focus on their best possibilities.</p>
