To be honest, there is no such theory that a certain sport has more chance of helping you get in compared to another. If your sport is in the NCAA playing field and you are good at it, then finding a school with a scholarship won’t be hard. There have been plenty of Kiwis get into the top teams for big sports such as basketball with scholarship and also not so big sports. As long as your skill level aligns with the level of the team or better, the scholarships will come. Make sure to find a school that matches your skill level, and you will be all set to begin your journey. I have known Kiwis that have received full scholarships to most sports in the NCAA system with ease so it just comes down to how you contact the coaches in America.
