So I have to make a choice again

Applying to College
1

<p>First of all, I have to make it clear that I am not a competitive athlet at all. I am now facing a decision to make in my fall term. I can either join the JV cross-country team which is an interscholastic sport. It will be very time consuming and exhuasting since I will have to pratice 2h30mins and run 5miles almost every day. And it literally will make me stay up every night to finish my homework. Or I can simply participate in my school intrumural soccer league which is like a club sport, which will give me a lot of time to pursue some of my other EC's and to study for my hardcore course load. Which one should I choose? Will being on a JV sport team really draw adcom's attentions? Will they look at club sport very differently from median level interscholastic sport? I have already had varsity volleyball. </p>

<p>please help</p>

<p>What draws adcoms' attention is a student's participating in an activity that they are good in and care deeply about. Consequently, follow your heart. This may mean not doing a sport at all if another type of activity is what would make you happy. </p>

<p>Adcoms will not care whether you did JV or intramural soccer. What makes their eyes light up is students' pursuing their interests with talent, creativity and passion.</p>

<p>If you are planning on using athletics as a hook, no. So, I have to agree with NSM's advice.</p>
