[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc has been doing karate since he was 12 and is currently a black belt who still regularly trains at a nearby school. He doesn't compete (not interested) and doesn't have any awards. He just does it for enjoyment. I'm wondering how this looks to admissions officers. Would they be glad to see that he has pursued something for years and been consistent and attained a high skill? Or is it basically worthless without awards and competitions attached?[/quote] It's certainly not worthless, but without competition and results, it goes on the hobby list, which is about number 37 of what colleges are looking at. However, if he can craft an essay about being a black belt in karate and choosing not to compete, I think that can go far. [/quote]
