thank you for reading and if you have any input please reply</p>
<p>when they say varsity letter, do they mean that you were just on the varsity team?</p>
<p>sorry for my idiotic question. our school's athletic program is not really that high scale. i come from a college preporatory school that hosts from 6-12th grade. we're more of an academic school you can say. (another reason why our shcool does not rank. everyone has good gpas.)</p>
<p>well most people on varsity recieve a varsity letter, but it is something that most sports make you earned.</p>
<p>for instance, in my cross country team, you can earn a varsity letter by getting 150 letter points. These points can also be earned by JV runners so even JV runners can letter.</p>
<p>it varies sport to sport and school to school. </p>
<p>db396, Your credentials look pretty good. Keep it up!</p>
<p>In the high school here, a varsity letter is only earned by meeting certain criteria, so that no one can complain about favoritism. In football you have to play in at least 34% of the game quarters in the regular season. In volleyball you have to play in at least 34% of the games in the regular season. In track and cross country you have to score at least 20 points for the team in varsity meets. In wrestling and powerlifting you have to place first through third in a local tournament, first through fifth in a regional, or first through tenth at state. Basketball and softball are similar to football and volleyball but I am not sure of the exact numbers. So getting a varsity letter is not automatic just for being on the team.</p>
<p>I already talked to you in person, but again, keep up the good work and get everything done on time, and you should be sitting with a great chance.</p>
<p>You're looking pretty good to me. Just prepare yourself as well as possible (just try to maintain your grades, do well in sports and get involved). Apply, and if you set yourself up well, you'll be sitting pretty. From then on, there's really nothing more you can do, it's out of your hands. Just go for it- I made the mistake of waiting a year (I came after a year of civilian school) for the sole reason that I didn't think I'd get in. Bad decision. Just apply and hope for the best, thats all you can do. Good Luck!</p>
