Riverrunner makes a good point…
a scholar-athlete’s sport does help open doors–</p>
<p>and
it is in addition to the academics
not instead of academics…</p>
<p>Herein lies the point…the scholar-athlete ADDS to the app the sport on top of academics, test scores, ECs etc etc…</p>
<p>The same can be said for the oboe player who adds in - the orchestral experience etc etc on top of the other ECs, academics etc…</p>
<p>People can and will be petty
–best to not let it get under your skin when you know your scholar-athlete’s academic ability is the same as the others in their freshman of the class of 2015</p>
