<p>Hi!
I am a good student i like to believe, lots of extra curricular, AP and honors, 3.7 gpa, etc. BUT I also am i nationally ranked sponsored snowboarder. I was wondering if this would make me stand out or get into schools. thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, being a nationally ranked sponsored snowboarder should help you to stand out in college admissions. It really depends on the schools you apply to, some are likely to be more impressed than others. Do any colleges have snowboard teams these days??</p>
<p>i believe schools such as UVM and Colorado do, but i’m not sure i would want to in college.</p>
<p>It’s an interesting EC and would make you stand out at schools that have teams and at the relatively few schools (mainly the very top private ones) that have such an overabundance of high stat applicants that the colleges can pick and choose from among those the ones who’ll most contribute to creating an active, diverse student body.</p>
