<p>with regard to admissions, do you think Williams weigh's participation in athletics highly (alongside high academics of course)?</p>
<p>Athletic participation doesn't rule you in or out, but I think there's no question that scholar-athletes are given a good second look at Williams. But so are scholar-artists, scholar musicians, etc.</p>
<p>Are you talking about being good enoguh to be recruited, or just being committed to athletics?</p>
<p>This article contains a lot of good info on Williams and sports..
