[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is elite level athlete?  You are either recruitable, or not recruitable.  [/quote]

You can be recruitable but choosing not to play. If a girl was a starter on a nationally ranked team but chose not to play they still have a fantastic EC. If they were a captain on the team even better. They were elite at their main EC which is the bar.[/quote]

Definitely not true and I say this as a parent of varsity atheletes.  If your kid is not an athletic recruit, sports are among the useless ecs.  May get some leadership points if kid is a varsity captain, but others pretty useless as far as admission as  impact.[/quote]

There are a lot of reasons to play sports without being recruited.  A boost in college admissions is generally not one of them.[/quote]

I know many students who were standouts in their sports at their schools but not recruited or at least chose not to be recruited and picked schools where they wouldn't play their sports. They did very well with admissions.[/quote]
