Hi guys,
I did Swim for 2 years and was on the JV team. I was probably average or avergae tho. Anyways I decided to quit this year so I can be super chill 2nd semester and also because I wasn’t that good anyway- I still swim for fun tho.
Does it look bad to a college if u quit an activity?
Or should I just not put the activity at all?
I was also in a few clubs freshmen and sophmore year- Key Club, etc… but I quit. So should I put things I quit or only put the meaningful ones. Will it look bad tho if I quit something?
I still have other ECs like summer tutoring and Science Olympiad
It won’t matter if you quit something to focus on some other EC that you find more meaningful. It will matter if you quit to “be super chill.”
You can certainly list your activities from freshman and sophomore year, unless you run out of space, and then just list the most important ones to you.
Sports is no better and no worse than any other EC to colleges, especially if the applicant is not a recruited athlete.
well i wanna be chill too, but I also want focus on Science Olympiad and try to make state (we got 8th at regionals) and I actually wanna try super hard.
I find swim kinda tiring as the coach is kinda harsh so i want relief from Swim
Even if I quit an EC, is it bad if I write about it for an essay?
The EC has a strong impact, but I quit to spend time on other EC’s.
