Varsity Sports as EC

I feel the negative part of a non recruited athlete when “competing” against other applicants with different ECs is that sports are not really unique anymore, and the “story” that the typical athlete is telling on his or her application when the theme is varsity athletics (without the recruited part, or for a student who doesn’t want to continue sports in college) does not stand out. Its easy to be repetitive and cookie cutter.

Alot of varsity athletes probably assumed they would be recruited right through sophomore year and may not have anything interesting to bring to the app to make them stand out.
