<p>My main EC throughout high school was swimming (I’m captain of varsity, and have won several awards) However, I don’t think I’m fast enough for the swim teams at the schools that I am applying to (Probably because I’m not white). Will swimming in high school help me?</p>
<p>Are you asking if you are recruitable? Your coach can tell you that the best. It does depend on the school, but also on you and your coach.</p>
<p>The only school I can swim for is MIT, but my dream school, Penn, is way too fast. I’m just wondering if they won’t take me seriously because I have been so dedicated to swimming, but can’t swim in college</p>
<p>this basically means you have a great EC and leadership, hook, whatever, but you won’t be an athletic recruit.</p>
