Gaming Related Honors and Awards

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hi,

I was wondering if I could mention my gaming accomplishments in the honors/awards section of my college application. No not high scores in pac man or tetris, I mean actual accomplishments with prize pools of $1000+ in well known multiplayer games like Counter Strike, where people can actually see my earnings on http://www.esportsearnings.com/. I mentioned it on my uc application already, but wanna ask how you guys feel about it as I complete more college applications.

Thanks!

Depends, how much money have you actually made? I know that in Starcraft, the winner can get up to a million dollars!

Gaming is just another sport. By all means, go ahead! (you may want to take my advice with a grain of salt though; I don’t game myself.)
