[quote=Anonymous]My son was an accomplished HS athlete (regional champ/state placer in an individual sport) but not recruited by any school he had an interest in attending. He had a strong SAT (1490) and respectable GPA (3.7 unweighted). He had no other extracurriculars and his essay was about what his sport had taught him about himself and how his experiences in it would still serve him once he stopped playing. He was accepted into 6 schools. None are elite academically, but they are all solid state schools - places you could mention on DCUM without getting a sneer. I don't think his lack of extracurriculars was held against him, but I also I don't think schools "cut slack" as much as parents like to think a million extracurriculars help. [/quote]
