[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD headed to ivy from strong public. 2 varsity sports (capt, national awards), co-president/vp of 2 community service clubs, lifeguard. she also had published research and presented at national conference. yes, parents helped with connections but she did the chart reviews, data-mining, manuscript drafting, and powerpoint talk herself. no woodworking, theater, auto mechanic, or finance relatives here![/quote]

What natl awards could come from a varsity sport? Sure, there are things I can think of but either: a) the kid would be good enough so that they were recruitable AND that’s bc they are club sport athletes; or b) the awards are generally meaningless  (ie an award recognizing an athlete who also does community service and has good grades - which is already evident from the rest of the kid’s profile).

Club team won national championship and finalists other year. Recruited D3 level but decided not best academic fit. Almost all of her teammates will play in college. Also individual sport scholar athlete award. Not too competitive but must play in multiple tournaments throughout year and maintain gpa.[/quote]
