[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Child is 11th grade (Junior) not sophomore. I grew up where we are not used to freshman/sophomore/junior... nomenclature. We just used 10th, 11th, etc. So whatever rating he would get in the next 9-10 months would be what he applies with.

So, it looks like tennis would be an extracurricular to write about but not going to help with recruiting.

What would you suggest the child focus on this summer? Plan had been to intensely prepare for tennis and compete in lot of tournaments to get a higher ranking.

Should he focus on something else in summer to help with admissions? Like research or some other activity?

Child wants to go to a larger university and not interested in SLAC's. [/quote]

If you have the resources to pay for this much tennis, I would hire a college counselor and ask them for advice. It will be much more tailored than what you will get here. Good luck!!![/quote]

We tried one but did not get any helpful advice in this regard that we can actually use. Helpful with course selection and test prep.

Main question is should he go flat out just on tennis knowing that top 200 is unlikely. Or does it make sense to dial tennis down a bit to do something else in addition like research or other summer programs.
