[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports are a huge commitment. 
My son has practices basically every single day (5 days + a weekend in Fall and most days in Spring between club and HS workouts). It would be insane not to account for this type of commitment to shed light on what an accomplishment his 4.0 is given he has compromised free time.

Please. [/quote]

Totally agree, my student also has a number of academic and extracurricular accomplishments that are even more impressive considering he is a three sport athlete is a demanding high school athletic conference.[/quote]

I am not disagreeing with you, but something doesn't add up.

If you are in a demanding DMV athletic conference...let's take WCAC...and you are a varsity, 3 sport athlete (nearly impossible, but go with me)...well, you are getting recruited for something.  I guess if you only participate in no-cut sports like XCountry, Indoor Track and Track...well maybe.

There are very few demanding HS athletic conferences in the entire US...so maybe that is the disconnect.[/quote]
