<p>i am a very athletic person and i am really good at my main sport (softball) and i play outside of school and everything and varsity at school as well and i recently have been better at my 2nd sport(field hockey) this year nad will be a 2 year varsity...this being my first year.</p>
<p>my grades are ok-ish but most colleges take into account the school that i go to(i know this because my school is VERY rigorus, a top school, private, most go to ivies, etc)....</p>
<p>since softball is a school lacking at many of the schools i want to go, i was wondering how helpful would it be as to getting me into some of my dream schools(cornell, emory, columbia, princeton-big reach, berkley, stanford, etc)????</p>
<p>jhu gives alot of slack for people being recruited for atheletics, but you just have to contact each sport department there and get on their list =D gl!
edit: I think this applies for most privates except stanford which is just hardcore academics</p>
<p>Certain schools (like Berkeley and Stanford) would likely be more receptive to your athletic achievements than others, I would think.</p>

<p>Uhhhh, uhhhhh. I beg to differ, unless you can provide some data or link to back this up. In fact, I think Stanford is particularly receptive to sports seeing that it perennially wins the Director's Cup.</p>
