<p>So I have been a dancer since I was three years old. Currently I am taking classes for 8hrs/wk & 40wks a year. At colleges with a large % of jocks (colgate, colby, holy cross, & bowdoin) will this help me in the admissions process or will it hurt me because I'm not like the rest of the student body? Or would I do better in the admissions process at schools with tons of dancers (conn college, skidmore)?</p>
<p>Thank you so much I'm really freaking out over this</p>

<p>Are you looking to dance in college? That might help at schools where they have a vigorous dance program. Otherwise it’s just a very intense EC.</p>
<p>No I don’t want to major in it, just do dance team/club</p>
<p>Actually I think you will be more attractive to colleges with a shortage of dancers especially at smaller colleges like the ones you are targeting.</p>
<p>–and don’t be put off by the athletic reps of Bowdoin and Colby–they also have a healthy number of kids who are VERY into the arts!</p>

<p>You actually will have a better shot at the schools you are targeting because they all have dance teams and often not enough qualified dancers.</p>
