Laura D asked:


How many should you play to look good on a college application? I’m a Junior and have only played one sport (tennis) for my sophomore and junior years. No sports for my freshmen year. I also take private tennis lessons once a week. I have a 4.0 GPA and am in 2 AP classes. Should I take more sports? I’ not good at any others nor do I enjoy any others. What should I do? Thanks.

2 years of private tennis lessons (I’m not THAT bad)

I’m also taking 5 APs this year (senior year).
I’m just really worried because I’m not involved in sports and music –my focus was on journalism and preschool ^^;;
Thank you all for your kind comments. It’s just that I have these sudden anxiety attacks lol. Btw, the SAT II scores are really bad –the last time I checked, you needed to get at least a 700 to show that you’re really knowledgable on that topic. But thanks anyway, you guys made my day! :)

Miranda L. asked:

I’ve been playing violin for 4 years and tennis for 5…i know being good at a sport is good for scholarships, and so is music. I love violin but i don’t want to major in music, i love tennis but it’s kind of just hitting a ball with a racket…which should i really focus on?
