<p>I really want to play soccer in college but majoring in pre Med. I know already in medical school you don't have time to play sports. When I'm in pre Med, will I be allowed to play sports? </p>

<p>Yes, if you are able to handled the schedule it can look very good. A lot depends on the school & the team & the level. My DD played a club sport at a university which took it to national champs every year so it was an intense times commitment, but as a non-varsity, she could skip practice to study. On the other hand the varsity kids had schedule priority, tutors and all sorts of advantages. It can be done if it works for you.</p>
<p>My DD did not compete senior year as she needed that time for shadowing etc.</p>
<p>My MD/PhD program director said being an athlete (or a musician) is a huge plus because it’s a demonstration of commitment to a craft.</p>
<p>That being said, as was said above, this does not mean you have carte Blanche with your academics, but if you’re still in the competitive range, it is definitely a bonus.</p>
<p>D. could not continue with her sport at UG. However, her sport is very time consumming. She has tried at club level, which is much less than varsity and had drop club after freshman year, was way too much. She continued using her sport as workout. But D. had insane number of medical and non-medical EC’s (according to her pre-med committee) and she also wanted to pursue un-related minor and her goal was straight A’s. So, it might be all different for others, depending on sport, ultimate goal, and number of EC’s.</p>
<p>“will I be allowed to play sports?”</p>
<p>lol ALLOWED to play sports? No, you aren’t allowed to play sports, and you go to detention if you do play sports.</p>
