Hey guys, I know this question's been asked a lot, and there is a lot of grey area regarding it but I was just wondering if this would be helpful to include in my application:
In my freshman year I played Halo 3 professionally. I ranked 9th FFA at MLG Dallas out of thousands. I got sponsored by Stride for a bit and got a lot of free stuff from them. As such, I believe my hand/eye coordination is pretty darn good. I no longer play any video games but I still feel playing video games has strengthened my manual dexterity.
However, will this look childish on my application? I mean I never planned on pursuing professional gaming it was just a hobby that I was particularly good at. I personally think it's a toss up because some people might look as this as favorable, and others might just think I'm a gamer.
My other manual dexterity skills aren't too strong, I work on my car a bit but haven't done any major work. I used to play the drums but only up until college. What would you guys suggest?
