[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know anyone in law or engineering that played college sports. Also, if one has goals set for mba/law/medicine/phd at a top school, how can one achieve those grades for entrance when time is spent playing sports? Are these college sports players pursuing business?[/quote] That takes too narrow a view of sports (and other non-academic activities in college) and of the sort of well-rounded, time-managing, life-balancing person who will succeed in those fields. Lots of people in those fields played sports, but they won't often be talking about their days in collegiate sports, so there is no reason you would know. Nonetheless, about half my friends who are lawyers played sports in college, including my spouse and I. It doesn't matter what level or even if they were great at it, but is does matter that they had the focus and time management skills to do it and still succeed academically.[/quote]
