<p>Yeah that’s pretty much it… I would be very thankful if you could chance me both as a recruited athlete as these schools and as just the normal applicant.</p>
<p>Extra curriculars:</p>
<p>If you were a highly desirable athlete, you’re in at any of these schools. If you’re a normal RD applicant, you’re probably in at like half to 3/4 of them.</p>
<p>even with the pretty weak extracurriculars??</p>
<p>Yes, because I believe your academics will carry you farther than EC’s will. Especially if you write an essay showing your passion for soccer. By the way, starting every game isn’t necessarily something I would put on an application, but MVP and all-conference is. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but top schools can get away with taking in athletes without a lot of EC BS, since only the numbers get published anyway. Your numbers are fine.</p>
<p>This is one those really painful threads where someone without a clue takes over.</p>
