Hey guys. I’m currently a HS senior, and I’ve been talking w/ a coach from a Division I school who is encouraging me to continue to do athletics in college. Does this hinder pre-medical success? I mean, I’d have to stay in tip-top shape over the summer–summers which should ideally be used for medically-related activitites, and I’d have to travel around and miss classes during the in-season.

I’m not an amazing athlete, but I do enjoy the cameraderie of teams; that being said, Division I is reputed to be pretty intense…
