Consequences of Dropping a Sports Class in the Last Semester of Senior Year

Applying to College

DS20, a varsity athlete has had the same sport as his last period since 9th grade. He has been accepted to three decent top-10 engineering programs via EA and waiting for some more results in March for RD. His varsity season is about to end.

He wants to drop the sports class and then notify the schools that has accepted him and also the one’s that he is waiting for. I guess at his school it is common for the Senior athletes to do that but a lot of those athletes are not going to these super selective programs.

Is there a downside to dropping the sports class especially for schools that he is still waiting to hear from?

Highly unlikely. But you should always notify schools from which acceptances have been received before making changes to the schedule used for acceptance, just to be sure.
