<p>Yep, that's the bottom line. I don't fault the parent who opened the thread for asking: it's an informational question that has a factual answer. The answer is that Ivy League schools and other schools admit some applicants with no sports involvement whatever. They also admit some applicants with huge amounts of sports involvement, and many applicants with an in-between degree of sports involvement (like the OP's child, who has learned tae kwon do). It takes nerve to let a child pursue the child's own passions, but that is the right thing to do, and probably the expedient thing to do as well.</p>
