<p>I'm a senior in high school this coming school year. So far, based on my grades from Freshman and Sophomore years, I have an unweighted GPA of 3.0/4.5.</p>
<p>I've moved at least 7 official times in 10 years before Freshman year of highschool. I am interested in playing D2 or D1 soccer for a competitive school that has at least a decent premed program, especially in neurology, neuroscience, international relations...etc.</p>
<p>I am interested in schools ranging from Penn State to the Ivy League and many schools in between. I am running out of time and am need of a lot of assitance.</p>
<p>What colleges would be a good fit? Some examples would be state schools like Ohio State University and Penn State or even University of UConn and schools such as Wake Forest University Johns Hopkins (I am willing to go to D3 but wish to eventually play D1). How are these schools? Are these kinds of schools "forgiving" or are they willing to take chances on students who have run into undesirable situations out of their control?</p>
<p>Please give me advice ASAP and also please let me know if this is too confusing to understand.</p>
<p>Is it possible to show colleges official records of where I have lived in USA? Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to help.</p>
<p>I have seen Wake be (apparently) unforgiving over the past couple years with CC applicants who I thought had some real situations out of their control. One was an outstanding student whose grades only suffered during the time that she was battling cancer. Also, being a soccer player at Wake would take an equivalent degree of sport mastery to what is required to be a basketball player at Duke.</p>
<p>You would have the best chance at being accepted to a large state school with a 3.0 GPA, particularly if you are good enough to be recruited. Are you that good? Did you make all-state or all-region? Can you afford OOS college costs?</p>
<p>I think I’m an okay player. I have some skill so that’s definetely a start, but I have no fitness. I have to work out a lot to increase stamina, endurance, strength…etc.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have not been able to “prove” myself in any official teams/leagues because of moving so much; everytime I moved, I either missed the deadlines and tryouts or my parents didn’t understand everything they needed to about the teams/leagues…I know this sounds like an excuse but I’m giving a reason…</p>
<p>Also, they rejected an amazing student battling cancer? Was it something over medical insurance? How many schools are there with decent premed and D1-D3 soccer? I’m assuming not many but if either of you know, that would be helpful. Thanks</p>
<p>How many times did you move during high school? If all your moves were before high school, I’m not sure college admissions officers will consider your moves to be an explanation for your high school grades.</p>
<p>You can find more information about playing soccer under the College Admissions section, Specialty College topics, Athletic Recruiting.</p>
<p>I am strongly considering switching one of the classes in my schedule for another. The problem is that class only has one section. If I take it I will have only Calc TA sessions on Tuesdays and Thursday. All my other classes will be on MWF. I will have 3 classes back to back on MWF and an hour for lunch before my last class. I am only taking 14 hrs this semester. My only hard classes are probably Calc I and maybe an honors level writing intensive class.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with this kind of schedule? Will I be really tired out MWF? Overwhelmed by workload?</p>
<p>BTW I am adding the class because sections for a really good teacher just opened up. The class is one of the most difficult at my university and is an requirement for transfer to a particular college (within the university) so I definitely need a good professor for this.</p>
<p>Twomules, thank you for the link. I will look at it ASAP.</p>
<p>Schokolade, the last time I moved was the summer before Freshman year. My problem is that my social life is broken because my social skills never developed completely. For this, I have issues making friends. Also, my study habits were disrupted so I am lazier than you would expect someone with so much “free” time like myself. I am also passionate about sports especially soccer, but have not been able to “prove” myself because I always missed deadlines due to when I would move…Sorry for ranting.</p>
<p>odyssey212, please remove your post from this thread. It is very random and I have notified authorities. Sorry but thank you.</p>
<p>iam, the things you say above are not things you want to tell colleges. Excuses don’t work with colleges anyway. Make a college list that makes sense for your stats.</p>
<p>Also try the athletic recruitment board on this site for advice on how to be recruited. Being recruited is the only way soccer can help you get into college, and it’s an involved process.</p>
<p>Redroses, like I said, I’m not trying to find excuses. This is the truth and this is why I have issues to deal with. How would it be bad if I told colleges about my moving experiences?</p>
