[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is frustrating when the time commitment is enormous.  I would hope that schools would give some "credit" to a kid who plays a varsity sport and manages to do well academically because that type of work ethic will get them far in life, even if it may not help with college admissions.[/quote]

True, I can speak from personal experience here.  My daughter has been a 4-year Varsity athlete (Marching Band) and there has been an enormous time commitment on her part.

I do hope the universities understand this, and appreciate it, and really take it into consideration as we are now applying to colleges at the moment.[/quote]

The regional AO at my kid’s school played a sport in college. It’s a top school- he has a lot of sports. They were his main EX. Admitted RD unhooked at a 3% admission rate school.

He obviously had the grades/scores too. [/quote]

That's a lot of information to know about the admissions officer.[/quote]
