<p>Don’t take this the wrong way but if you’re good enough to play for a lower level Mexican professional soccer team, why weren’t you recruited to play for these schools?</p>

<p>everything here looks good. id say you have a better chance than most at these schools. of course, arent easy to get into, but u have a really good shot.</p>

<p>i wouldnt mind a chance back :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>i didn’t play for a lower level professional team haha. I played with my club team from SoCal AGAINST them. And i never said we did good either (although we didn’t do bad either). And playing soccer in Division I is a pretty big commitment (7 AM practices every day during season -___-). The only schools that showed interest were local DI schools in my area that are no where near IVY League status schools in terms of academics. I’m looking to study abroad and whatnot, so I’ll probably opt for intramural soccer, which sounds a lot more fun. That being said, however, I’ll probably try out for whatever school i get into as a walk on. And Ivy Leagues aren’t exactly known for their athletics so I don’t think I’d have a problem walking on…it’s more a matter of whether or not i want to commit myself to DI soccer.</p>

<p>You should definitely get into USC, UCLA,and Berkley. You have a decent shot at the others too.</p>
