[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that sports captain doesn't seem to do anything even if it's a main sport at a name brand school (say a place like sidwell) that only has 2 captains per team.

I think it depends.  Captain as a senior, maybe not that remarkable.  But say someone was on Varsity team all 4 yrs and Captain of the team 3 of those year- that does speak highly of their character and how they are perceived by others.  Maybe it isn’t winning Regeneron talent search, but colleges don’t want to fill every spot with an academic robot (just some of them).

I think this shows that sports isn't very competitive at your school. At ours, captains are usually always seniors. Also, I don't think colleges necessary parse out captain one year vs three years. On the activity list, you state the highest role your had in the activity. So you would mark 9, 10, 11, 12 for a sport you did for four years and write "captain" even if it's only in 12th grade. These little things don't matter. You can use up your word count to explicitly state you were captain for three years. But why would you do that... you need to use that space wisely to state the impact you made in the activity. [/quote]
