<p>Schools are wary of hardcore gamers because a lot of times those are the kids that have difficulty managing their time and drop out because they don’t much of a support network of peers keeping them engaged in school… it is somewhat of a taboo topic in college applications. And not that you will become one of those kids who doesn’t socialize and doesn’t get involve in the school community, its just that admissions officers see that as a possibility in anyone who mentions gaming, and they evaluate those applications accordingly.</p>
<p>And I realize you are trying to take a different angle on “gaming” but the message doesn’t always translate as you might like it to. I think you should stay away from it.</p>
<p>Good topic though… just not the best for college applications.</p>
