Okay- I am a junior and I want to do early admission which the deadline for is November 15,2008. I have always been great academically but I haven't really participated in sports. I do everything else from clubs and volunteering but no sports! I am scared that I won't get into college with out any. I tried to do track but my depression and failing grades got in the way. I need to know what can I do to get a greater transcript.? Should I join any activites over the summer and besides school( i live in Chicago, so if anybody could find me some- I would be happy)Or should I wait and do some in the fall for the first three months? Plus how do colleges know we participated in sports anyways? (link)

actually, "I couldnt do sports because my depression got in the way" looks better on a college transcript than "i did lots and lots of sports" assuming your college takes an essay portion, as far as i know all do. typically, your college transcript includes any clubs and organizations you were officially signed up for. you can SAY you did sports without having done them. most colleges do a random check of a certain number of applications, the punishment for lying can be severe, so you are better off not doing it. just talk about your depression, and anything else that prevented you from doing sports in your admissions essay, and how you had to overcome those problems to even be able to do well in school.
