<p>Hi everyone! Bear with me as this is my first time posting on this forum. So I'm going to be a junior this upcoming school year and chances are that I will be on junior varsity tennis team this year. I live in a very competitive part of SoCal-- we have several nationally ranked players on our varsity. My question is should I drop tennis this year assuming I'm on jv again as a junior? </p>
<p>I'm thinking in terms of college because I heard that colleges see a jv sport as merely PE. Honestly I don't really enjoy playing tennis as it detracts from my schoolwork, but I am co-captain of the team which is a leadership bonus. Also tennis is lowering my GPA as I have a 4.7 weighted GPA right now. If I didnt take tennis I would probably take journalism or physics (admittedly these classes would lower my GPA too, but they would give me more academic experience).</p>
<p>Additionally I was wondering if colleges frown upon dropping a sport after two years. And if I'm applying to UCLA or UCI then on my application can I just write "three years of playing tennis" or do I need to specify varsity or jv?</p>
<p>I’m also on JV as a junior because my school has an amazing tennis team and has won states or been runner up the last 3 years. I am sticking with JV as I was the last one cut from varsity and am the best player and captain of the team. If you don’t like the sport then don’t stick with it I’d say.</p>
<p>Um, this is actual a sub-forum for International Applicants, specifically Nepal. We don’t have varsity teams here so I doubt you’d get any good advice on this sub-forum. I suggest you post your question in college admissions or varsity sports sub-forum.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Someone please reply! I’m so desperate because I have to make a decision soon. If you include a link to your question ill gladly return the favor and reply!!!</p>
