<p>When looking at applications how much do the officers consider sports EC's.
I am on 3 varsity teams-golf wrestling and crew and have been since freshmen year.
during the whole school year I practice for 2 to 3 hours after school and somtimes find it difficult to complete all my assingments in one night.
Will colleges show simpathy toward my rigorous schedual or look at my app. just as everyone elses?
thanks.</p>
<p>Usually, the gerneal rule is that you shouldn't let your EC's get in the way of your grades, so I doubt that they will let that slide. However, having thse EC's will put you at an advantage anyway. So I guess you could say that depending on how low your GPA is that it may be able to balance out.</p>

<li>Grades are (unfortunately) more important than ECs. And having ALL sports? I don't know if that's a good idea.</li>

<p>A lot of volunteer work and really good SAT scores might be just what you need to balance out your application.</p>
