[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior and his primary ECs have been two sports, for which he will not be recruited. He has no other meaningful ECs. How are applications like his looked at by admissions offices? Do kids like him (sports focused, but not recruit-able) have a chance at top tier schools? [/quote] Not much I suspect. My DS (last year) had other EC with leadership roles (non STEM) and a minor role in a STEM EC. He went into a STEM area in college and I don't think his sports or non-STEM leadership roles mattered. I suspect this because his friends that went into business school or other non-stem areas were able to leverage similar roles and got into "better" schools. I think schools are looking for alignment between ECs and what the kids want to study, unless they get overruled by the all powerful athletic department and forced to accept a sports team member.[/quote]
