<p>Hey,
How important are sports on college applications? I take only Tae Kwon Do [outside, not in school]. Will this affect my admission into top notch schools?
Thanks</p>
<p>You’re asking because you think that every admittee to top notch schools is an athlete?</p>
<p>Well… the answer is NO. Sports participation is one factor that CAN be part of a successful applicant’s file. So could working 15 hours a week at McDonalds to help her family with the monthly bills. Really.</p>
<p>I don’t think most “top notch schools” have Tae Kwon Do teams, which considerably lessens the value. Recruitable athletes are of interest at such schools.</p>
<p>I jst TKD for fun, but thank you for the info.</p>
