<p>I'm sick and tired of running cross-country and I don't think I can do it anymore this year. It gets in the way of my school work and my other hobbies also. </p>
<p>Basically, how big of a negative effect is it to quit cross country?</p>
<p>I've been in it since freshmen year and I'm in my senior year now.</p>
<p>School-work is obviously more important so if it’s getting in the way, then quit. I honestly don’t think it would have much of a negative impact on your application, especially if you have a good GPA, SAT and other activities.</p>
<p>Judging by the tone of your post, you probably should quit cross-country and pursue your hobbies (and of course do your schoolwork) more.</p>
