11

<p>wow surprissseee</p>

12

<p>so sports dont matter that much?</p>

13

<p>i think sports make a significant difference if the student is a recruit... or nationally-ranked athlete. otherwise, it's just an EC</p>

14

<p>yeah, that makes sense, but does it matter what your rank is, or can you simply say "i am nationally ranked" and have it stand out?</p>

15

<p>I'm sure they would check...</p>

16

<p>Wow thats rubbish, they dont realise sports take a lot out of a person, probably = amount of time participating as you do for studies, then there is the physical side, you get tired etc.</p>

17

<p>And it doesn't benefit the college unless you are good enough to play for them, so they don't really care.</p>

18

<p>yahh...cuz the thing is , in certain sports its not THAT difficult to be nationally ranked...you have to be decent at it , but not neccessarily good enough to play at the college level</p>

19

<p>but then think about it... all the other candidates probably had similar grades for harvard.. but lacked the athletic side, and you dont wnat a school full of nerds. id call them all - rounders...</p>
