<p>What is the protocol with this? I would think Common Ap goes to all colleges applied to, not just the ones where recruiting is taking place. If you don't fill it out does it look like you are not interested? If you do fill it out will it seem that you are interested in being recruited at the other schools when you are actually not?</p>
<p>I think I read this in somewhere… If you are a recruited Athlete, don’t submit Athletic supplement. If anything go wrong, and if you need to apply to college by Academic only, you can always create another version of Common application and submit it to other school with Athletic supplement. There should be much more detailed information in common application website.</p>
<p>If xoxojjj is right, then I will need to make a new common app account to submit the app early for the school I am being recruited by. I hope someone else has some input on this.</p>
<p>OK, I will sound stupid. I am reading this with my daughter close by, which is unusual. I asked if she completed the athletic supplement, and she said yes. She already submitted it to the school that’s currently her top choice. I can’t imagine whatever it is could make a difference if they want to recruit you?</p>
<p>Sorry, It might be school specific… I think you’d better to check your school’s website and info section. I read this info from one of the college website:</p>
<p>Talented student athletes interested in one of our varsity Division I programs should contact our coaches for more information about varsity athletics. Coaches will advise the admission staff about applicants with exceptional athletic talents. Note that we do not accept the Common Application Optional Athletic Background Supplement form.</p>
<p>But, you CAN create different versions in common application website. :)</p>
<p>When my D was recruited at a LAC, the coach told her she should go ahead and complete the supplement, even though the coach already had all the info she needed. That helps admissions give the student credit for all the sports she’s done, and not just the one she’s recruited for. The only odd thing was that she immediately was contacted by a coach for a sport she did not intend to play in college.</p>
