[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Unless your kid is an absolute superstar—as in future Olympic athlete—the fact that they play on a club team will only demonstrate that they are interested in the sport and that you, as parents, are willing to pay for it. [/quote] If the kid is also doing very well in school it can demonstrate time management skills, depending on if the elementary has homework and if so how much.[/quote] Lol. This is not a thing. Time management and getting good grades in MS while also playing club sports or doing other high commitment ECs is something admissions teams look at for High School, but it’s not a thing for MS. For MS they are looking at test scores, teacher recommendations, interview, and how the kid handles themselves at the shadow day. An applicant’s interests are also taken into consideration but it more from a looking for well rounded kids who can do the work and aren’t going to be behavioral issues for the school. [/quote]
