SAT II: Taking soon
ACT: Taking soon</p>

<p>Took honors courses and advanced courses througout highschool.</p>

<p>Im in a very prestigious private school in Boston and it requires a lot of community service to graduate, so I have that on my side</p>

<p>EC:</p>

<p>Soccer 3 years (will be 4)
Newspaper
Key Society
Sports Entertainment
Bowling Club
Spanish Club</p>

<p>out of school:
Soccer, many tournaments won, team captain

Youth group classes and community service</p>

<p>I have a few colleges in mind:</p>

<p>Indiana University (bloomington)
San Diego State University
Arizona State University
Loyola University Chicago
University of Tampa
University of Vermont
University of Massachussetts
Coastal Carolina University</p>

<p>What do you think I need to improve on and what are my chances.</p>

<p>[EDIT]</p>

<p>your choices seem a bit weird. why are you applying to sdsu and arizona for example? I am sure there are several state universities near where you live that offers the same qulaity of education at an even lower cost. Is it because you like the locations?</p>

<p>indiana is a great fit for you. you seem to be a match to me.</p>

5

<p>I'm not the kind of person who could go to school in the state I live in, and I want to experience something new, that is why I am all over the place... I love out west... My sister went to ASU and I love the campus and SDSU's is beautiful also.</p>

<p>You think IU would be the ideal fit? I felt that IU might have been a reach. My dad went there and I visited the campus over the summer for soccer camp.. I love the school, the tradition, and the location... IU would be one of my top choices.. Business school is great there.</p>

6

<p>Your SAt and GPA is within range and legacy may help a bit..altho not much in a state uni...</p>

<p>Its really smart to pick ohio, purdue and indiana for business because they have such great programs there that are better than even some of the top schools...</p>

<p>oh i wasn't surprised you found iu's campus to be beautiful...its one of the prettiest in the country. if i were you, i would definately go there if accepted!</p>

7

<p>What do you feel about my other schools? reaches or within range?</p>

8

<p>For SDSU, your gonna be okay. Your GPA is average and your SAT score is above average for the school, 1070 on the old SAT format for 2005 Fall Admission.</p>

9

<p>thanks... anyone else on other schools?</p>

<p>I pretty dumb looking at all these Harvard, Yale aps..:(</p>

10

<p>bump... and above i meant I feel... haha I don't need to make myself look any dumber to you than you think I am already.</p>

11

<p>I'm also looking at CU- Boulder</p>

<p>anyone with info on any of these schools and my chances please respond</p>

12

<p>bump.. anyone?</p>

13

<p>You aren't by chance looking at Sport Management, are you?</p>

<p>Just seems like that seeing UMass, Indiana U, ASU, Tampa, Loyola, and Vermont on your list, and talking about your involvement in sports as well as knowing who Mark Spitz is that you may have been thinking about it.</p>

<p>Anyways, IU is a match for you. Your GPA is right around average for them, and you have great test scores. But admissions standards will be harder for your class, as this year's class saw a big increase in applications, meaning higher selectivity. Apply early!</p>

14

<p>Yea, I am actually looking into doing something with sports... Freshman year I think I will go undecided but I am looking into:</p>

<p>Law- Gonna get degree then maybe become an agent
Sports Management- Would be pretty sweet
Business- Not sure what field of business</p>

<p>I will probably apply early action to Indiana University... Just love the school, but if I have a change of heart and I get in, im screwed.</p>

<p>So should I just apply by the first deadline?</p>

15

<p>Indiana doesn't have EA or ED. They're just rolling. As long as you apply early and have a GPA above a 3.0, you should be fine. No essay, no teacher rec, no EC list. They just care about that GPA.</p>

<p>Make sure to apply to UMass. Their SM program is fantastic, the best in the nation. Would also recommend Oregon for SM. Those two programs really distinguish themselves.</p>

16

<p>What is "SM"? ....</p>

17

<p>SM = Sports Management</p>

<p>So if i have a 3.2 im good for Indiana? Really thought that was harder to get accepted</p>

<p>Isn't Oregon tough to get into also?</p>

<p>Do you know anything about the acceptance for any of the other schools on my lsit?</p>

18

<p>if only your father WAS Mark Spitz.....</p>

19

<p>So true... Id be in sure thing.</p>

<p>My dad was a pretty good swimmer there though.</p>
