<p>Basically, what the title says. In addition, if one student was on an accomplished dance team and another was on an accomplished sports team, who would a college be more likely to choose? What if the sports team was junior varsity?</p>
<p>I've heard that one of the major factors in some schools accepting candidates is sports; any input on that?</p>
<p>unless the athlete is recruit caliber, it’s all the same — dance team, yearbook, McDonald’s. sports is not better or worse than another EC per se. The only advantage is that colleges generally will know how much time being a Varsity swimmer or Field Hockey player will entail</p>
