[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who says the kid cut from baseball didn't fill that time with something else, like babe ruth baseball, their travel baseball team, a job etc.?[/quote]

Of course they can, but it doesn’t look like the same level of commitment from a college application perspective. Many of these kids chose BOC pretty sure they’d be able to make a team and knowing it’s not as competitive of an environment as some other schools like SJC. They’ve now been blindsided.  [/quote]

What colleges are we talking about?  Outside of maybe 50 colleges total (top 30 national and top 20 SLACs), colleges really don't care much beyond rigor of schedule, GPA and test scores.

For the top colleges, if you are not a recruited athlete, they expect top rigor, top GPA, top scores and that you are doing impressive things other than just playing a varsity sport (because again, you aren't a recruited athlete).    Again, you are talking about kids who aren't even a team captain, but just on the team.  Colleges are well aware that there are some kids on the baseball team who make Varsity and literally almost never get into a game...they get thrown in as a pinch runner for the Senior Game and that's it.[/quote]
