[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a captain of a sports team at TJ and want to know how it helps in top 10 college admission. Can one of the essays be written on the work done as a captain?[/quote] It is less than 5% of the overall app assessment. 60% or more is rigor and grades compared to classmates. The rest is scores, LOR, evidence of true intellectual curiosity (intellectual activities, essays). ECs and leadership factors count but each one carries only a small weight unless it was hugely impactful : individual EC such as captain hardly moves the needle. [/quote]
