<p>Hey, I'm a high school senior and I've already applied to the Academy. The problem is, I haven't played any sports during HS. Although my grades are good, SAT/ACT scores are awesome and my Physical Fitness Exam was pretty good, I'm still worried that my lack of sports will hurt me. Does anyone know if this will decrease my chances of getting into the Academy?</p>
<p>What did you do instead? Sports is sometimes short-hand for leadership/team activities. Did you start any clubs, volunteer your time, work? Show your leadership abilities and the sports thing might not matter…though you will have to do something there. Team spirit, you know, builds unit cohesion.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was hoping that founding the Mock Trial team, having a leadership position at work, and being a noncommissioned officer in the Civil Air Patrol would basically cancel out the fact that I did not participate in any sports. What are your ideas on this?</p>
