<p>@3unitsllove: You’re right, I’m sorry for referring to it in such a manner. I have taken a look at the service academy forum actually, and all it’s done is raise more questions. I have excellent grades and scores and several leadership positions, one on a competitive debate team. However, everyone on the forum seems to believe that a varsity sport is absolutely essential, but commitment is also important… how can someone play a varsity sport and also have as much leadership as I do while still being a committed leader? I don’t play any sports aside from tennis during the summer sometimes, so is that idea virtually crushed?</p>
