Hello,

Is it possible to become a student-athlete in a sport in spite of not having applied as so? As an international student I believe I don’t have access to the recruitment process, though I have won national medals in sailing and would very much want to continue participating at the highest level possible.

Otherwise is there some selection system to qualify for the top team (varsity team is it called?), or are the spots exclusively for student-athlete entrants?

Kind regards.
