<p>Hooks: I'm Hispanic

I will also hopefully have support at Amherst and Williams,not sure how helpful that will be as they're D3
SAT (</p>

<p>Oh, and I will hopefully have some sort of internship this summer having to do with STEM</p>

3

<p>You’re golden, just take a science SAT II because they require it</p>

4

<p>If you’re being recruited, you have a great shot! You additionally have all the academics and are URM. You shouldn’t have any problem getting in where you want to go. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you both for your responses! I think I’ll take the Chem subject test at the end of this year… So a coach’s support at MIT could be a difference-maker then? I’m just not sure how big of an advantage his support actually is, but your responses make me slightly more optimistic!</p>

<p>Buuuummmpp</p>

<p>You definitely have a pretty good shot at all 3 schools. Coaches don’t have as much weight at MIT at big sports schools like schools in the SEC but being a number one prospect will really help you out. Your math SAT is kind of low for MIT but your subject test makes up for it. Being a URM will also certainly help.
Good luck! Could you chance me as well?</p>

<p>You are pretty much set to be honest. Are there any other schools you want to get into becaus you even have a decent shot at the higher level Ivy League if you want. I noticed that you did not mention a lot of volunteer work, maybe try it, you might really enjoy it. Plus, it obviously has merits for your applications. </p>

<p>Please chance me back. I am sorry I am not attaching a link, but I am having issues posting to the forum on my iPad.</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot at getting accepted but be careful about the recruiter. A senior in my AP BIO class was recruiter for the track team by the coach, however, he was not accepted by the university.</p>

10

<p>I think you don’t even need the coach’s support to be accepted. Just write decent essays and you’re in.</p>

11

<p>Thank you all for your responses!@MsMallory- I’m looking at Harvard and U Penn, but I don’t think I’m going to get the support of their coaches in admissions…they only have 6 slots or so, and even though they’ve shown some interest, I’m not in their top group of recruits unfortunately…so, I feel like my chances to those schools are not great, because my EC’s are far from outstanding…</p>

12

<p>Bummmmppppp</p>

13

<p>Buuuummmmmpppp</p>

14

<p>The coach’s support add to your already strong chances. </p>

<p>Considering that you are Hispanic and have such a strong sports background, HYP are high matches.
MIT, Amherst, and Williams are matches.</p>

15

<p>ECs far from outstanding? Your soccer is an EC, and you’re good enough to be recruited.</p>

16

<p>I guess I’m just worried about my lack of significant leadership positions or major awards or anything else to really set me apart! I mean, there must be A LOT of athletes who apply!</p>
