Hi everyone, bit of an odd question, but I haven't seen it talked about much on here so I thought I'd give it a shot and see what the general consensus is.
Do you guys think varsity esports is worth putting on the activities section of my app? My university has club esports that I was on for a year before the university introduced scholarships and started varsity esports. I got to be on the first varsity esports team for my university and lead the team to a couple of top tournament placings, which I think was pretty cool, but I'm not sure if any of this is worth including on my activities section. I was on the team for about a year before I stopped to study for the MCAT, since being on the varsity team was basically a full time job.
Do you guys think medical schools will see this kind of activity favorably? I'm a bit worried that older adcoms wouldn't view it positively and think I'm not taking the application process seriously. Esports was something I was really passionate about and excited to play varsity for, though I'm not sure how adcoms will view it in comparison to "normal" varsity sports.
(If it matters, the game I played was Overwatch lol)
