[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports are not more important than other extracurriculars like music. And those go all year, not just a season. [/quote And my kid did both sports and music/arts. If you’re not a recruit, it means nothing more than an extracurricular. Get ready.[/quote] Disagree. Not a huge edge but all things being equal, an average varsity athlete will be taken ahead of an average chess club kid or potted plant #3 in the school play.[/quote] The point is to be engaged with your extra curricular. Are you just a drone on that team (Potted lineman #3) with nothing interesting to say about it? Do you organize chess matches, write about them, or teach chess to children? What is your position in theater? Stage manager, set designer? How did your passion for theater help you grow as a person as you took on more responsibility? Colleges want interesting people who are engaged with life.[/quote]
