<p>Ugh. I agree! </p>
<p>I’m involved in many many extracurriculars, but not varsity sports. So what? I don’t have hand-eye coordination. Does that make me less qualified to go to college? I think not. </p>
<p>However, Middlebury is NOT the only college doing this. In my opinion, it is disgusting. Colleges should accept on merit… and in my opinion athletic talent has nothing to do with success. Wouldn’t the college do better to accept more academically qualified people who will become successful graduates? </p>
<p>Because of this arbitrary acceptance system, I have to apply to 9 colleges. I’m qualified (sometimes overqualified) for every single one of them, but due to the fact that I’m not a varsity athlete, I have to apply to a lot to be sure of an acceptance.</p>
