<p>Is this a safety for me? I realized im in desperate need for safeties and think im going to add it last minute. The thing is i won't have a chance to visit the school for a tour, interview, and info session. Would connecticut maybe reject me because they would see from this that i'm trying to use them as a safety?</p>

<p>FIRST OF ALL: "good work experience with tennis" doesn't cut the EC list, sorry. "US open ballperson"... sweet! Anyways, back to the subject at hand: connecticut college is b/w a safety and a good match, meaning you would probably get in, but you should still keep it as a consideration... it seems like a good fit for you.</p>
<p>yeah i've heard some nice things about it....and im starting to think amherst, williams, and bowdoin might not work out...so i need something to fall back on</p>
<p>also...could ballboying act as any sort of hook in the admissions process?</p>
<p>Why not use ballboying as your essay choice, if you haven;t decided to do that already? Anything can be a "hook" to the colleges, as long as you emphasize your love for whatever it is that you are making a hook. So, really emphasize your love for tennis. Write an essay on it, show it in your EC's, talk about it in your interviews... make them know that you LOVE tennis! ... also don't forget to let them know that you'll want to continue doing tennis-related stuff in college. =)</p>
