[quote=Anonymous]Basically, simply lettering in a sport provides zero "edge" in college admissions. The question is whether the letters represent something about the person. Are they a high school athlete and how has that affected them as a person? My kid played soccer in college. She lettered 4 years in high school (back pre-DA) and, for soccer, it would have had zero impact as that is all about club play. If you had 5-10 letters and still did well in school -- now you have something. What did it teach about time management, focus, determination, etc. . . Although, for big schools it still probably means little to nothing if the grades and test scores are good, and the kid is not playing a college sport. [/quote]
