[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a 3rd degree black belt, started adult program at around 8 or so. It is not a place where you get belts easily. Placed 2nd in an international competition with many countries participating. Also captain of their performance team and an instructor. He wrote about it in a couple supplementals, the experience shapes him in a variety of ways. Had a lot of other things going on as well, but at an Ivy and did very well in admissions. It was sincere interest over a decade, that's always my recommendation.[/quote] Yes, but that's very different from what OP wrote, which is a kid who just does it recreationally for fun post-black belt, and has no interest to enter competitions. As others have said upthread--any activity where you're not excelling in a way that could bring positive attention to the college community, is fairly neutral to an elite college. [/quote]
