[quote=Anonymous]"it's wrong-headed IMO to prioritize the sport over a challenging curriculum and good grades."

Good grades are not negotiable.

The colleges don't care how the challenge is divided between academics and ECs once the academic load hits the level required to earn a single major in 4 years.

Proving in HS you are academically capable of earning 200 credits in 4 years for a triple major provides no advantage because no pre-med ever does it in college.

All the hardest charging HS students figure out in college that consuming knowledge and getting As isn't the point.  The point is for them to get to the level where they can produce something on their own.

Med schools would much rather see a journal publication rather than a triple major.  Being say an academic All-American in college is much better than a triple major.

No one knows how many triple majors there are.  Academic all-American means for your sport and division you are in the top dozen or so students in the country.[/quote]
