Arts VS Athletics

So my top colleges choices are Columbia, John’s Hopkins, and Princeton. Princeton being my number one college decision. I’m pretty well rounded in all fields such as grades, ECs, and hopefully standardized testing.

I wanted to know if it’ll really stunt my chances of getting into these schools because I do not do any sports. Honestly, sports are just not my thing. I’m so athletically challenged that I can barely play tennis. However, I am a artist. I do a lot of commissioned work, I paint murals for charity, National Art Honor Society, and it’s my biggest hobby. Besides that I’m also a Thespian in the International Thespian Society. I’ve been in several plays, the lead in a few, and planning on writing and directing one next year.

So me lacking that athletic component but being strong in the arts, would that really hurt my chances?
