<p>If you want to drop football to free up time so you can do other ECs that are “important” for college admissions, I’d advise <strong>against</strong> dropping. If you’re bored of it or concerned for your health <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1013366-no-more-fb-mean-mom.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1013366-no-more-fb-mean-mom.html</a> or honestly believe it will take up too much time, then maybe so. </p>
<p>I think football is as good an EC as any, even if you aren’t D1 material. This is especially true if you can talk about how it’s affected your life / what you’ve learned from it / just be enthusiastic and love it in your essays. My son’s selective college said at the admitted students weekend that that the kids who had been involved in sports tended to do better since they’d figured out time management.</p>
