[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four years ago I heard an AO from UVA say they like students who played sports and still got good grades because that shows they can manage their time. [/quote] Yeah. I heard that too and it is very hard to manage hours of sports and a rigorous academic load. Takes a lot of discipline. Team sports show they can work well with others. My kid got into Hopkins, two Ivies, Georgetown, Williams, UVA all RD. Played a sport since kindergarten. Not recruited, not hooked. They want athletes for their many club teams. Mine was good enough to get on Varsity 2nd year of college. Never played for the HS team past sophomore year - just club- in order to keep up with straight As and better competition. Had other activities as well He’s at an Ivy and most kids played sports even if they don’t know. Roommate was a HS baseball player. Another ran track/cross country. Another rugby. One football. They all workout at the fitness center which is very busy.[/quote]
