<p>Can someone tell me how much colleges value sports ? I'm asking with reference to a good student straight A's and some music ( nothing to brag about ). Also, have some math and science competitions where the performance has been good. Will sports add any value to the application ? especially team sports. Will being in Varsity help ?</p>
<p>It will be looked at like any other EC, but if you will not contribute much to the team or won’t be recruited, don’t join a team, especially if you just want to do it to beef up your resume. Do what you love, and keep excelling in and out of school. If you really enjoy playing a certain sport, then join the team.</p>
<p>I like the sport that I plan to play. So I guess I’ll try it.</p>
