<p>Thanks USNA69. My sense is that son put a great deal of effort into his application and got it all in there. Some of his activities were a bit unconventional, for eg., he has competed in equestrian events since age three, ultimately competing nationally, even internationally. Even though this did not fit the mold of traditional sports with letters, captains, varsity, etc, I think he got the point across in the application itself. I would imagine the Admissions Board can only compare applicants based upon their application, not extra fluff.</p>
