To start off, I am Mexican-Honduran, first generation to attend college, played soccer since I was 5, high school varsity captain and played in travel elite socccer teams, also starting varsity football kicker. I am also an athletic trainer which has given me over 350+ volunteer hours, joined latin club (language not culture) as well. what frightens me is my parents income is barely $32,000 and it’s concerning me. My gpa is 4.4 and aiming for sat of 2000. I’m in the last quarter of my junior. when junior year began I suffered a shoulder injury which required immediate surgery to repair my ligaments. The 3 quarters of my junior year I was not able to write because it was the hand of my surgery and was not even able to study because of the pain and strong medications. That forced me to have a few C’s but they were C’s in Ap/honors courses. My last quarter of Junior year I had straight A’s and overcame the obstacles. I’m planning to graduate with 11 ap courses and the rest honors. My senior year I will be performing a lot better in class and getting in the field playing in all 3 teams as I am healthy and emotionally stable From the trauma I went through. I just want to know what are my chances at Ivy league if I show them my average performance in Junior year was not on my behalf, but it was on a trauma like I explained and was able to pick myself up as soon as I was able to perform at full and recover. Thank you!
