[quote=Anonymous]We are discussing with our rising freshman son whether he should continue playing his sport at high level at the expense of other extracurriculars with the goal of leveraging his sport to get into an elite academic school. He is a very strong student and wants to pursue a strategy of focusing only on his sport and academics (his sport doesn't allow time for anything else). Has anyone implemented this strategy? If he is not a recruited athlete, he hopefully will have strong GPA/test scores to fall back on but how penalized will he be with only his sport as an extracurricular? Do schools give any extracurricular slack at all to "just missed" athletes? In our sport in particular, I'm not sure how much an admission committee would immediately recognize or understand the level of competition, level of commitment required, etc. [/quote]
