[quote=Anonymous]There is a common misconception that these niche sports somehow confer an advantage when applying to the selective schools that offer these sports. However, you have to understand that while these are niche sports in the US, they are popular sports internationally and the schools do not care from what part of the world they recruit. As an example, the best international squash and fencing players come from Europe and Asia and they are highly recruited as well. The point being that in certain sports that do not have realistic professional leagues, you are competing worldwide against those kids, not just domestically. Hence, while I agree with others here that they play the sports that interest them.[/quote]
