[quote=Anonymous]OP- I’m a high school teacher who teaches seniors and I think your kid sounds great. I am not a college counselor by any stretch, but have had many kids talk with me about their applications, since I write their rec letters. In my opinion, your kid probably will want to maximize the “additional info” section to quantify what play year round sports looks like- how many hours does he spend traveling to and from practices and showcases while maintaining great grades? What exactly does he do for special Olympics over the summers? Let your kid be who he is- just make great use of the additional info section- lots of kids assume AO’s know what it means to compete in year-round sports, but it’s different for every student depending on the level, what they’re balancing, how late they’re getting home at night, etc. just my two cents![/quote]
