<p>Doesn’t look particularly likely to me ED unless you can be recruited for soccer. Your schedule may be challenging, but your SATIIs and AP scores seem to indicate a less than stellar preparation at your school. (You might want to consider NOT citing your AP scores on the Common App since you’ll have to report those 3s…)</p>

<p>ED is very, very competitive for the unhooked student. But you never know. You might knock their socks off with the essay and have recs saying you are the best student they’ve ever seen. Good luck.</p>
