<p>Looking at the admissions stats from the last 2 classess, almost 89% of those admitted participated in sports of one kind or another- with over 80% earning varsity letters in the process. While that does not add up to “everyone,” it certainly speaks for the majority- and one would have to assume, something valued as part of the admission “whole person” package.</p>
<p>I don’t know- I know our son did 3 varsity sports for 4 years of HS, and now add in the same sports for PG year…
and, like most other candidates (I would venture to say) with lots of other EC’s as well…</p>
<p>not having any would, in MHO, stand out against what appears to be the norm…</p>
<p>but, like with everyother bell curve, there are outlyers…
but if I were a candidate looking to gain the attention of the admissions board, I would be more comfortable as part of the 90% as opposed to the 10%…unless, of course, I was a steller trumphet player that can sound off revile in perfect pitch!!! ;)</p>
<p>(ps…son was a sea cadet too!
