Northwestern Chance + Sports In High School?

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I am wondering how colleges view sports in high school. I played no sports and did no extra circulars -- except for during the summer, where I did a football summer camp, volunteered at a hospital (about 100 hrs), and took a geometry class so I could get ahead in math -- my freshman year in high school. </p>

<p>My sophomore year I was the class president, went to state in DECA, played football, and kept pretty decent grades in accelerated/honors classes (both soph. and freshman year). </p>

<p>Now it is my junior year, and over the summer I made a website for the non-profit organization that I am starting, which will benefit children with Autism in the impoverished country that I am from. As well as added about 50-60 volunteer hours to my r</p>

<p>Sports are not necessary with the great extracurricular activities that you currently have.</p>

<p>Also, spellcheck everything.</p>

<p>Ok, that sounds good, can anyone else confirm that? How about my chances?
Also my bad, Calculus**</p>

<p>First off sports aren’t essential, but they can be the difference between you and another students application. Ik when my dad applied to Cornell the only reason he got in was because his lacrosse talents. So if u can, try to play as many sports as u can and do as many EC’S as u can. Colleges love to see well rounded kids. I would also like to know why ur coach wouldn’t let you on the football team. Because u could bring up a lawsuit</p>
