Nervous and Sportsless

<p>I don’t play any competitive sports like soccer, basketball, softball, etc.!
However, I do do Synchro Swim (Water Ballet)! I also won an Endurance Swim Race over the summer!
I have really good grades, I do a few ECs, and I volunteer!
Is it possible to get into Choate, Deerfield, Andover, or Taft if you don’t play sports and are not a total prodigy or genius?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Are you a legacy?</p>

<p>BubbleGum321 – Of course it’s possible! I know several people at Andover/Exeter that aren’t great at sports and aren’t prodigies/geniuses (although very bright!)
Personally, I’m sports-less too, haha… I’m athletically challenged, so it’s okay. (:</p>

<p>Also – I’ve never heard of Synchro Swim, but since it’s water ballet (?) – it doesn’t seem like something a lot of people do…which, in my opinion, would only be to your advantage, since it makes you different! </p>

<p>So relax :slight_smile: You can still be sport-less and get into one of these schools, so don’t worry :)</p>

<p>I can really relate :slight_smile: I used to take Synchro too! It does count as a sport, and any awards you’ve won (especially at Nationals) can help your application.
Schools don’t just want an athletic, intellectual genius. They also want people who have leadership qualities and character.</p>
