Hi all,
One of the main things in my resume is my UF experience, which is somewhat complicated to explain. Basically, we were a club sport for decades through my sophomore year, when I (as captain of the "A-team") initiated and helped lead the process of becoming varsity. Last fall (Junior year) we were recognized as a spring varsity sport by our athletic department but didn't get to play due to COVID. Basically, by the end of 12th grade, I'll have 3 seasons of A-team/varsity captain, and 2 seasons of captaining the fall program, which is a club focused on recruiting fundraising, and training.
Essentially, I'm wondering if this is likely to (by admissions) be taken seriously, or written off as a non-serious sport due to its reputation for hippies and weed.
Similarly, I've noticed USAFA seems very focused on "traditional" sports (football, etc.) and I wonder if (at USAFA) that comes at the expense of non-traditional sports like Ultimate.
