In case everyone jumps on me for calling cheerleading a sport 😛, we do more than just wave our pom-poms. We stunt. We tumble (floor gymnastics). And yes, we do cheer.
My question: Can I list cheerleading under "Intercollegiate Athletics" on the AMCAS?
We compete in competitions with squads from other colleges (and in nationals) and we have junior varsity sport status at my college (there isn't a varsity cheer - it's just our athletics dept way of half-recognizing us as a sport).
I admit, it does look strange to list cheerleading under athletics especially since many adcoms (and people in general) are more familiar with the pom-pom waving variety than competitive cheerleading. If I shouldn't list it as athletics, do I just put it as other?
Thanks for your help guys! 🙂
OH also, out of curiosity - I see "uniqueness" being thrown around a lot in these forums, would this be seen as a more unique activity among pre-meds?
