<p>What are my chances? About how much financial aid would I qualify for? If I put nonacademic honors in the academic honors section, will I be penalized. I listed a Habitat for Humanity award and a soccer award I received, but they do not classify as academic.</p>

<p>Anyone anything?</p>

<p>I think your chances are decent.
Great SATs, good GPA, great APs and good ECs.
I think your essays would be what makes or breaks you.
As far as financial aid goes, on their site you can see the typical financial aid package for someone of your income bracket.
And I doubt they’ll be super upset over the academic/nonacademic awards thing. If they’re important and you couldn’t put them anywhere more appropriate, I think you’re totally fine.</p>
