Hi,
I am in the tenth grade, and homeschool. I am currently 16 years old. I may be able to finish school by next year by taking advanced classes. I am looking to apply to USMA, and am a bit worried because I know it emphasizes sports involvement. Back in middle school I was on the track team, but since I started homeschooling I have done no sports. I have no Varsity letter, which I know is a big deal. There are no private sports clubs in my area, either. I am an active member of Civil Air Patrol and I will be a very high rank by application time. I am wondering how big of a deal it is for homeschoolers to be involved with sports. I cannot join my local public school's team. Are there any other options? Is it even necessary?
