Am I on the right track?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi all, </p>

<p>So I'm a freshman in highschool involved in a lot of ECs - Marching Band, Indoor Percussion Ensemble, Drama Club, Key Club, the Musical, and I volunteer over the summers at a local science museum. I get straight As - and am often accused of being a perfectionist haha (I'm disappointed with a 94 in AP World this quarter and appalled with my 93 in Geometry Honors, for example.) The thing is, I'm not athletic, whatsoever. The one time I tried out for a sport in Junior High I got cut, and I don't like athletics much to begin with, nor do I have much time for them.
What I'd like to know is, is that going to hurt me in the long run?
At the current moment I think I want to go to University of Chicago or University of Michigan, among some others, but I don't know if my lack of variety in ECs - since almost all are music related, and my lack of athletic participation will hurt me in the admissions process? I'm proud of my EC involvement and my grades, but will lack of athletics hurt me in the application process, or do you (as a general community haha.) think I'll be okay? Is it "absolutely" necessary to be involved in sports in high school in the admissions process?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this, I really appreciate it. :)</p>

<p>you’re fine, </p>

<p>a sport is just a single extra curricular, you can make up for a sport by doing something else outside of school. </p>

<p>the only time to worry would be if you had no extra curricular activities at all. so with you’re ECs you’re definitely on the right track</p>

<p>Believe me, sports are not a huge deal if you’re already involved with other activities. The valedictorian at my school has never played sports in her life and she’s headed for ivy leagues.</p>

<p>There are other EC’s out there, you don’t have to do a sport related one.
I’m not athletic either, I wouldn’t want to play a sport either as I find them rather boring.
Have you considered Student Government, DECA, FFA, TSA, Environmental Club, Best Buddies, a foriegn language club, uhmmm I’m not sure what all clubs your school has but check their list, there are so many other things out there besides sports as there are so many different interests and people.</p>
