<p>First generation college student from California, here is my list as of now (excluding safeties):
Cal Poly SLO
University of Colorado-Boulder
Colorado State University-Fort Collins
University of Arizona
Penn State University Park
Ohio State University
San Diego State University
Purdue
Syracuse University</p>

<p>My scores are as follows:
GPA (UW): 3.51
GPA (W): 3.75
SAT I Composite: 1950</p>

<p>ECs:
This is where I'm lacking. I look at a lot of the threads on this site, and while I know many users here are outliers, they have what I consider to be very strong extracurriculars, but by others weak. My extracurriculars by my own standards are weak, which is a scary thought for me.</p>

<p>Year-round club lacrosse (~35/52 weeks)
Varsity lacrosse team captain
Academic tutor 5 hrs/week
3rd place in county-wide art contest for block printing (my intended major has nothing to do with art)
National Honors Society 2 years</p>

<p>So looking at all this, what are my chances for the schools I've listed? I intend on looking back through them all and weeding out the ones that put a higher emphasis on extracurriculars, if need be.</p>

<p>AP test scores:

<p>Intended Major? and calculate your UC/CSU GPA for SDSU. For SLO, use 9th grades also, see link: <a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Are you good enough in LAX to be recruited? If so that might help</p>

<p>University of Colorado-Boulder, CSU, and Arizona you’re a safe bet, you probably will even get some money from AZ. The rest of your schools are matches and high matches, but I am fairly confident you can get into all three. In your essays write about your passion for LAX, or how it has influenced you, as it seems it was a big use of your time in high school.</p>

<p>@sgopal2‌ I’ve gotten emails from a little more than 10 colleges at MCLA Division I, NCAA Division III, and NCAA Division II schools; but I don’t know if it’s something I would pursue in college. I’m definitely considering joining a club team at somewhere like CU-Boulder or U of A, but NCAA is out of the picture. Would this help in the application process at all?</p>

<p>Why not try contacting the coaches at the schools you are interested in? Give them a little background about yourself. Most LAX positions are probably already committed, however the coaches may have a couple of spots that are unfilled.</p>
