<p>On the common app and especially the athletic supplement, is it OK to say that you've done something before you actually do it?</p>
<p>I've run my entire HS career, and I can say with great certainty that I will run indoor and outdoor track in 2008 unless, say, I break my leg or something. Should I just fill in the bubble saying I participated?</p>
<p>I don't think it would harm you. Eespecially for spring sports of your senior year</p>
<p>Not a good idea to act like you're doing something that you can't yet do. You could say that you plan to do it.</p>
<p>I checked off the 12th grade bubbles for the sports/ECs I was committed to.</p>
<p>I left the 12th grade field blank and just made a note in the Additional Information section that I plan to participate later in senior year.</p>
<p>No idea how filling in those bubbles early is usually interpreted, though.</p>
<p>It's fine - they know that the 12th grade check is "anticipated".</p>
<p>Are you already training? If yes then you are participating even though you are not competing.</p>
