<p>Have you tried to get recruited to an equestrian team? Do you think you could just walk on to the team at Brown?</p>

<p>Your best bet at any of these schools is fill out recruiting forms NOW and send emails and make phone calls NOW:</p>

<p>Your GC should have clued you in to the boost you could get from your sports background.</p>

<p>(oh, and I’m sorry, but FIVE POINT FOUR TWO weighted? Talk about bonus points for honors and AP classes! My son’s HS has 4.6 as the theoretical maximum, my HS had 4.5 as the theoretical maximum (based on how many honors and AP courses offered))</p>
