<p>I just wanted to come out and say that I am living proof that it is possible to get into WP without a Varsity letter. I participated in Cross-Country (No varsity letter) at my high school and also participated in the JROTC Raider Team and JROTC Orienteering Team (Could not get varsity letter because it is a JROTC sport). What I suggest your son should do is at least join a “tier 1” or “tier 2”, at his high school and do his best to get a letter, and if he doesn’t want to do that he should join a competitive non-high school team. However, the key thing is to keep his grades and leadership ECs up. Those are what got me into WP. Oh yeah, another thing, if he isn’t involved in as many sports, I <em>think</em> that WP will look more heavily at his CFA score, so make sure he does really good on that.</p>
