<li><p>Do you see yourself as a possible soccer player in college?</p></li>
<li><p>Are you capable of personal growth? ie, could you learn to hate the Yankees and love the Red Sox, given four years?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Yeah, I'm definitely looking into playing college soccer. I've been recruited by several local schools that have seen me play in high school games. </p>

<p>No, I could never like the Red Sox and hate the Yankees. That would be like asking "could you learn to hate Jesus and love Satan?"</p>

4

<p>uhhhhhhh ok.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I think you have a strong chance. You're kind of the archetypal Harvard candidate (high scores, athlete, and some mission trip to a third world country), but that's not a bad thing. You'll find out soon.</p>

6

<p>THings such as your income, race, location, and many other factors determine whether or not you'll be accepted. Your stats seem great, your ecs seem OK. Do you work? What makes you stand out from other applicants? Just some questions for you to think about.</p>

7

<p>Viva La Yankees!</p>

<p>thanks for the input, guys. I never thought I would be the harvard type. Thats why I applied ED to William and Mary. I put this in just to see if I would have had a chance.</p>

9

<p>you will get rejected from harvard, unless you get recruited for soccer.</p>

10

<p>Hmmm.....</p>

<p>Don't people who love Satan tend to hate Jesus, though?</p>

11

<p>I thought you needed three SAT II's to apply? How come you only have two?</p>

12

<p>hmm, harvard requires 3, but stanford and mit only need 2. i dont know how that will work out for you.</p>

13

<p>Did you guys not get my last entry? I'm going to the COllege of William and Mary-- they don't require SAT iis.</p>

14

<p>waiiit..so you're not applying to harvard at all?</p>

15

<p>dude, ***, why are u wasting our time</p>

16

<p>I think you sound great, but I'm sorry if this sounds like I have no life, but I think that people that have a favorite sports team are...well....have no reason to. I mean it's not my cup of tea and I really don't understand it. I'm sure others would scoff at my origami skills or something. The only sports figures I could ever care about are people like Jackie Robinson. But good luck...</p>
