<p>Hey guys. I'm looking at a variety of colleges in case I don't get into the Academy and most of my top choices are Div. III athletics schools. Does the fact that I wont be competing against top athletic schools hurt me in the admission process? I'm also wondering whether intramurals and club sports at the college level count at all as athletics because there really isnt a varsity level to them. Any information would be totally appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>You might be missing the point about athletics.</p>
<p>It's not about playing for the "best team" or "against the best team"...
it's about playing ON and WITH a team, towards a GROUP goal, being leader and follower, being part of a team vs. individual effort. </p>
<p>And staying active.</p>
<p>Of course, having said that, being a member of a D-I,II or III varsity team can't hurt- especially if you letter! </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
