Hello,

During my undergrad, I took a course focusing on golf, ultimately hoping to improve my game as the sport is both an important networking tool and activity in business. However, I could also see the ADCOM viewing this on my transcripts as a negative and assuming I took a "fun" class my senior year. Am I reading too much into this, or should I address this somewhere in my applications?

Thanks

You are reading waaaaaaaay too much into this. You are allowed to take fun classes too. It's part of college. Plus one assumes you had to take a sport or two. What's wrong with liking golf?

Hi MBAFL2014,

You are probably reading too much into it. There is nothing wrong in being passionate about sports.
