[quote=Anonymous]I actually found that when I was considering going into academics, that the faculty found interesting my tennis background - it consistently was brought up. Yes, the primary interest was in my scholarship and academic credentials, but the tennis said that little something extra. In watching my niece get into colleges (or not) with a 2350 SAT scores, perfect GPA and a summer of original scientific research behind her, I keep hearing about all the other kids who have exactly the same as she does, and it makes me think about all the times my tennis was the one thing that separated me, if only because it showed a certain type of competitive drive taken on of my own initiative that maybe isn't quite as clear from a pure academic resume.
