<p>On my applications to schools I didnt include varsity tennis since I didnt think I would make the team. However, I did, and since decisions havent come out for a couple of my schools, should I send them a little email saying something, or not worry about it? thanks alot</p>
<p>Adcon 1: Well, that just about raps it up. His grades are mediocre, his SATs are average, and his EC's are commonplace.
Adcon 2: Wait, wait. . . . I just got an email. . . .
Adcon 1: Yes, that's great. . . . Tell me about it when I get back, I'm going to inform the director of admissions that we've decided to reject this kid.
(Adcon 1 walks towards the door)
Adcon 2: (Reading) Wait. . . . STOP!!!!!!!!!
Adcon 1: What is it???
Adcon 2: For God's sake, man, we've got to let him in!! He plays tennis!!!!!
Adcon 1: Jimminy Crickets! And to think I was going to reject him just for having low academics! Thank God we got that email.</p>
<p>With a more personable response, I wouldn't do it. Many colleges will not accept additions to their applications after the deadline so all students are given fair and equal opportunities.</p>
<p>Call them and ask. Some college admission offices are very pleasant to deal with except Stanford. Stanford does not want you to send any updates.</p>
<p>I don't think there is any harm in emailing them. It can only help.</p>
<p>I think that it really wouldn't make a difference. It's not like you're going to play in college. If you already have solid EC's that show a specific passion, what's tennis really going to do fgor you?</p>
<p>Honestly, it depends on the caliber of the school you are appling to. Worse school, greater difference v. tennis will make. :]</p>
<p>haha see girls' tennis we play in the fall before apps ;)</p>
<p>Probably not a big deal since you didn't play in other years.</p>
<p>it was kinda a big deal w/ colleges for a few girls on my team tho</p>
