[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who recommend cutting back on sports to focus on GPA, don't kids need involvement with extracurriculars too? Our DS is in private in 9th, and the workload is intense. I can see the attraction to cutting back on sports, but would that just leave him with a higher GPA and not the other things he needs?[/quote] We never did sports and if hasn’t impacted our admissions yet. D had been accepted to multiple honors programs. GPA and SAT are more important. Colleges aren’t going to care enough whether your D was on a very casual sports team or one that requires a lot of practice.[/quote] I agree. The point is not that you do zero sports if your kid likes sports, but that the high school team actually is enough if you aren't hoping to be recruited (and 98% of kids will not be recruited).[/quote]
