Hi, I am a freshman currently, and I want to know if the sports factor into decisions at Harvard. I’m not talking being world-class player, but rather being in a varsity sport. For my freshman year, I have decided to do lifetime sports like ice skating, strength and conditioning, etc. to adjust to the new school life and to focus on academics. However, I am thinking of trying out for JV Soccer, JV Squash, and Varsity Track for my sophomore year to expand my skills and athleticism. I just want to know if my freshman year sports would actually factor into my application or not.
