<p>on the application, it says to not include sports in a specified section… I was wondering, since my tennis team is somewhat crucial to my leadership section if I could still put it there. I think the leadership section is the one that specifies it… regardless, I would like to include it somewhere on my app. Would that be ok with the Admissions, or would they be upset if I seemingly disregarded the rules?</p>

<p>The reason I really want to find a place to put it is that I founded the tennis team at my school.</p>

<p>Isn’t there a section in the app for this?</p>

<p>If your stuff will fill up the sports section and then founding the tennis team spills over, then by all means find a way to reorganize such that it fits. You <em>don’t</em> want to leave “Sports” empty, and put your tennis stuff in the school and community activities section. (I don’t think that the school section says “no sports”.</p>

<p>A little creativity is fine, and shows that you’ll find a way to get the job done. Too much creativity or a re-write of the form will make you appear unable to follow directions. :-)</p>

<p>For example, you could have a category of “Service” under which you listed several items, or “music” and listed a couple groups. You definitely want to distinguish yourself from the people who are in an activity, yet have <em>nothing</em> to show for it in terms of accomplishments, officer positions, etc.</p>

<p>GPBurdell, you seem to know a good bit about tech, do you know if I am allowed to apply for Tech by their Presidential Scholarship deadline and still aply SCEA to Yale? I tried to figure it out, and from what I gathered you can apply to another school early if you do Yale SCEA only when it is rolling admissions or by a scholarship deadline… is this correct?</p>

<p>Actually, anyone whi is willing to answer please do. I got to find out soon i suppose…</p>

<p>That’s a question for Yale. Tech’s early admissions aren’t binding, so Tech doesn’t care.</p>

<p>You may consider why one school is seeking to limit your options. Is that in your best interest?</p>

<p>That seems like a rather silly way of looking at early admissions. If you really want to go to the school, then its a great opportunity since the odds are better (a bit). If you aren’t 100% about Yale, then you shouldn’t apply right now. Yale wants to give the former group a better chance.</p>

<p>As far as I know, I don’t think Georgia Tech Pres. App counts as early action. I know Stanford has something like this and applying to both wasn’t a problem. </p>

<p>Good luck on your apps.</p>

<p>Of course you can apply to Yale SCEA and GTPS. SCEA says you may apply to local public schools early, at least when I was applying.</p>
