<p>I'm looking to be a computer science major in college, and one activity I'm doing this year is a national game programming contest. To make room for this in my schedule, I'm dropping basketball, which I had played for about 8 years in a house league. I've also recently started playing in a band, and am taking almost a full schedule of IB classes this year, and I feel adding basketball would probably be too much. Will dropping basketball be something that might break my application?</p>
<p>Only if you were planning to use it as a hook to get into college. Otherwise, it’s just an EC you dropped for another EC, which is fine.</p>
<p>Exactly.</p>
