School Sports vs. Outside Stuff

<p>This thread was inspired by the School vs EC Sports one. I was just wondering, do colleges look at sports that you participate in outside of school, such as martial arts, or team sports your school doesn't offer, in the same way they view school sports, like football, lacrosse, or basketball?</p>

<p>I'm especially curious because I do Tae Kwon Do, and was just kind of wondering how this looks on a college application. Is it like something that is merely EC, or can people actually be recriuted for something like this?</p>
