I’m a senior applying/applied to HYPSM and other schools and my counselor gave me a copy of his recommendation letter that he had already submitted through the Commonapp.
I play used to play badminton competitively but suffered a wrist injury which meant that I still play badminton, but not competitively. Playing badminton and what it has taught me has been a fairly significant theme throughout my supplement essays and questions.
However, my counselor wrote this: “[my name] used to play competitive badminton. He won [accolades etc.]”
The accolades he mentions are all mentioned in my Commonapp too. However, I’m worried this gives the impression that I stopped playing badminton (which I haven’t), and am therefore lying in my supplement about me still playing badminton and entering the odd tournament now and then. Would this sort of discrepancy raise a red flag to admissions? Or would they think that either my guidance counselor doesn’t know about my ECs in too much detail, or that I stopped playing badminton competitively but still play it for fun/exercise?
This might be a triviality but want to make sure!
