Hey everyone! I've been really into basketball lately and was thinking about how sports could affect my college experience. Does anyone know how competitive women's basketball is at HBCUs, and could that impact my admissions chances if I'm a decent player?
Hello! Your interest in basketball is wonderful, and it could definitely impact your college experience, especially at HBCUs where sports can be a significant aspect of campus culture. Women's basketball at HBCUs can be quite competitive, but the level varies widely among schools. Being a decent player could be advantageous for your admissions chances.
If you have been playing at a high level in high school, consider reaching out to coaches at HBCUs to discuss your interest and share your athletic profile. Remember, while athletic prowess can enhance your application, it's important to also focus on academic achievements and other extracurricular activities.
If basketball is a passion, ensure that you also highlight this in your application to illustrate your dedication and work ethic both on and off the court. Best of luck!
