<p>Whats the difference between "non varsity athletics" and "varsity athletics" for activities section</p>

<p>Is non varsity athletics just a club or recreational activity?</p>

<p>and varsity athletics a school sport (regardless if you are on freshman, JV, or Varsity)</p>

<p>because if you had like 2 years of JV and 1 year of Varsity, on the activites section, how would you fill that out?</p>

<p>Just fill out the 1 year for varsity or 3 years and then on the "details" line say 1 varsity, 2 JV?</p>

<p>what did you guys do that had this problem?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Those designations are based on grade and talent levels within a high school and are all considered a school sport on the EC list. You can put the total number of years in the sport, "Soccer 3 years: JV (9,10), V (11,12), Co-Captain (11), Captain (12), MVP (12)." Be sure you put any leadership positions or awards when you list sports as an EC.</p>

<p>Varsity and non varsity both apply to school athletics. If you were on a team outside of the high school you attend, you would put "club team" or whatever it was.</p>

<p>Varsity refers to the highest level team in the school. If your school is highly ranked in the state or county, being on varsity is very good.</p>

<p>Non varsity can refer to freshman, sophomore, frosh soph, or junior varsity teams in the school. It's a broad term, so specify on the app.</p>

<p>wait...but on the drop down list apparently theres only</p>

<p>Non-varsity athletics
and
Varsity athletics
(I dont think you can just select a sport, you have to specify)</p>

<p>what if you did a combination of both then? Im not going to waste 2 lines to seperate them when they are clearly just one activity.</p>

<p>Also, yea it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but since our team is state champions (really hard to make varsity), i am asking this question</p>

<p>^did you two actually fill an application out (because from what i know, you cannot just do Soccer: 3 years...it has to be Varsity Soccer: 3 years, JV (10,11) Varsity (12)-and that of course would be wrong because your putting JV under varsity)</p>

<p>My D was varsity gymnastics and varsity chearleading (and dont laugh at that, she was co-captian, and it is athletic these days). Chearleading wont pull down, so she put below.</p>

<p>Put the highest level you were at, and then specify with "JV (10-11), V (12)" or whatever.</p>
