<p>I don’t think that would be frowned upon necessarily. Do you?</p>
<p>In my case, I had only one sport (Karate) my first two years in HS, and that was a club, not a team. I didn’t do anything resembling a team sport until my Junior Year, and did them Junior and Senior year.</p>
<p>Granted, I went to NAPS, which may have taken that and the resurgence of my grades during Junior and Senior year into account.</p>
<p>And I do listen to those who are there now. However, I think we are discussing a definite special case, and you cannot deny that trying to squeeze through the holes offered by the special cases in many ways restricts your chances.</p>
<p>If it will make you feel better, I will acknowledge that my initial response was technically incorrect. When I am asked questions like this, I tend to offer an answer that covers 90% of the bell curve. Just playing the odds. There are always exceptions, as you have reminded us. I’d just rather shoot for the 90% than the remaining 10%. I will try to cover the whole curve next time. You may not believe me, but I sincerely appreciate the correction.</p>
