Should I play a varsity / club sport?

Many Wall Street firms prefer hiring athletes. That being said, some of us just aren't very athletic. We think it's more important to show that you have interests outside of schoolwork to demonstrate that you are a well rounded applicant. Wall St firms don't just look favorable on athletes, but any applicant that shows a variety of interests and can carry on an interesting conversation about those interests.
