<p>great athlete (not looking to play sports, but have played on varsity teams all through highschool) , lots of ECs, etc</p>
<p>No takers???????????</p>
<p>Scores look good, how about the essay? What about recs? Keep in mind that these things factor into admissions also! Good Luck!!!!</p>
<p>Rank is great..... GPA is great...... ACT is good(average or above).... Athletics is great</p>
<p>for the things that you have listed,,,,, everything lookds goood</p>
<p>But what about any other E.C's?
Like AL said.... how were your essays and recs?</p>
<p>All the normal stuff looks good though</p>
<p>GOod luck</p>
<p>i did my essay on passion and it was very good, everyone who read it loved it including very qualified english teacher.... who also corrected it</p>
<p>extra curriculars include NHS, best buddies, vice president of stand, plus community service (tutoring, working at the pound, etc)
i wouldnt say i have THAT many extra curriculars since i play on 5 + different sports teams a year..... but they are decent</p>
<p>5+...? is that even possible..... In Arizona there is 3 seasons.... and its only possible to play one sport a season.....
How do you manage to play 5 sports a year.... im thinkn club teams</p>
<p>well i play on more than one team for 3 different sports (some not affiliated with school, yet take up just as much time) basically i play year roound</p>
<p>ohh... gotcha.... nice..</p>
<p>what sports do you play?</p>
<p>I'd think colleges would like to see a lot of dedication for 1-3 sports rather than five, but who knows.</p>
<p>well i agree with you rrenacci... but if you read hello's post it says that he plays 3 sports... but on 5 dif. teams.... sounds like dedication to me... </p>
<p>I'm a three sport athlete too............ its tough im only on 3 teams though- i couldnt imagine what the time commitment for 5 teams is.....</p>
<p>well personally, i dont live my life to please colleges, if i wanted to play 5 sports i would regardless of how "colleges would look at it"</p>
<p>P.S I am a girl</p>
<p>"I don't live my life to please colleges"</p>
<p>Amen, Hellohello!</p>
<p>On the strength of that comment alone, I'd be inclined to accept you, if I were on an admissions board. That is a very healthy attitude! :)</p>
<p>As per the sports, I don't know many kids playing sports at the varsity level who aren't a part of competitive teams in the off-season... Actually, don't know that such a thing as an off-season exists anymore like it did when my generation was in high school. My daughter's "break" after cross-country season lasted precisly 4 days, before she started up with indoor soccer to prepare for the spring season. </p>
<p>Your EA profile looks as good as anybody's, better than most. </p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what are the sports?</p>
<p>I play Varsity basketball during the winter season, my coach is kind of intense so we basically play year round-
regular season, plus unofficial torunaments all year, fall league and summer league (both of which are not serious)
plus i play AAU basketball during the spring (not affiliated with my high school team)</p>
<p>I play varsity soccer during the fall, and i also play on a travel team during the spring</p>
<p>i also run as a sprinter on the track team for my school during the spring, just to keep in shape</p>
<p>on top of this i train at bluestreak (an intense program for highschool and colege athletes) which is about 2-3 hours a day 3 times a week</p>
<p>as you can see, theres not a huge window between my last period and practice where i can be involved in student council or many other activities</p>
<p>AMEN hello....</p>
<p>Thats awesome</p>
<p>ya.... at most i get a week off between seasons</p>
<p>hope you get in.... good luck</p>
<p>Athleics is a very solid EC at Notre Dame. Dedication to athletics alone is dedication. Playing on 5 teams shows more dedication then playing on 1 even if you are some how showing a "passion" for that one sport. I personally am passionate about sports in general and play on 5 different teams for 5 different sports. So I strongly believe one can be passionate about competition and sports as a whole. Good luck to everyone applying to ND.</p>
