<p>I took a year off from a sport i play in school junior year, but i will probably play again senior year. The coach informally told me i could probably be captain if i play again senior year. can i put captain on my app for a school (sport is in spring)? What if i end up not being captain even though i was assuming i would be></p>
<p>if you're pretty sure, i think it's fine for you to put captain. however, if you really do end up not being captain, you can always explain it to the college and tell it what your coach told you</p>
<p>You can say, "predicted to be captain," but since you don't have the title yet, don't say you're captain. If you end up not being captain and the college learns about it, they'll view you as a liar.</p>
<p>will colleges look less on "predicted to be captain" than just captain</p>
<p>Sure "predicted captain" is less impressive than "captain," but in your case, "captain" would not be true. "Predicted captain" would be far more impressive than being caught in a lie for saying you're captain when that hasn't happened. yet.</p>
<p>Remember, if you write "predicted captain" on your application and later do become captain, you always can send the college an update.</p>
