How to Make Your Sport Work for You in the Admissions Process
Hi there,
As a student-athlete, you've developed skills that top US universities value: leadership, discipline, resilience, time management. But unless you’re being actively recruited by a coach, you might not know how to showcase these qualities in your application.
In this webinar, I’ll walk you through how to turn your athletic experience into an admissions edge—even if you’re applying as a non-recruited student.
We’ll cover:
- How to feature your sport in the Common App activities list and essays
- How admissions officers evaluate athletics (even without coach involvement)
- What makes your athletic background impressive in an academic context
- The difference between being a recruited athlete vs. a high-impact applicant
- Strategies that have helped students gain admission to Ivy League and top-tier US universities
Whether you're a varsity athlete, club captain, or just deeply committed to your sport, this session will show you how to frame that experience to support your admissions goals.
See you there,
Collier, Tim and Jake
