<p>What's the breakdown of your SAT score? Also, how do you do soccer and track? Isn't girls soccer in the spring?</p>

<p>Anyways, you seem to be more than qualified for admissions, so all you have to do now is get good recommendations and represent yourself well in your application and essays.</p>

<p>EDIT:
Are you good enough at any of those sports to be recruited?</p>
