<p>Just curious, if you want to swim in Princeton University which is division I school, which is important? Academic or swimming?
My academic performance is good compare to swimming is ok.
My class rank is 2/450 which I think is very good:) If you want to swim in Princeton, did they only care about swimming record? Did they even care about academic performance? Or do you think I can walk on after getting accepted with academic performance?
I guess my time for 50 free is 28s. And I am only freshman right now:)</p>
<p>Admissions is much easier for recruited athletes than for the general applicant pool. To be recuited, you’ll need to have competitive times (sorry, I can’t help you with what those are) and you’ll need to be a strong student with good test scores. A 3.8+ GPA with a rigoous courseload and 700+ on all SAT sections and SAT IIs should be enough if you have coach’s support.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>As a freshman, it is a little early to count on your class rank staying the same through junior year.</p>
