I don’t play ANY sports, I don’t play ANY instruments, but academically I’m strong with great extracurriculars and my niche is English. Do I have to pick up either a sport or an instrument to get in?
No.
No. It does benefit you as it is considered an EC, but it is not required nor will it necessarily get you in. If you’re doing well in school and have other passions, you still have a chance! Good luck for the Ivy Leagues.
Have a good day!
No my nephew is graduating from ivy league. He and plenty of his friends never did sports beyond mandatory school gym and never played an instrument.
