[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What EC wins the admission game? Fencing? Women’s crew? Squash?[/quote] You'd need to be one of the top competitors in your age group nationally for these to get a coach's support as a recruited athlete at an elite school Yes, fewer people play these sports but it isn't easy to be the best at a national or international level and there are very limited college roster spots for these sports in particular. Even if you are good enough at the sport, you'd need to have a strong academic history and high-end standardized test scores (unless the school is test optional). It is quite a bit easier to just invest the $$ and time for your child to have a nearly perfect SAT score, GPA, and a handful of school or regional ECs.
