Question

Is it likely that colleges will take you if the sports that you've taken are either badminton or cross country

Answer 1

Well extra curricular activities are always a plus especially if they where both on organized teams or clubs. Cross Country is a NCAA Sport with a good number of D-1 , D-II and D-III colleges having a team.  NAIA Colleges also have Cross Country teams.

If your asking about athletic  scholarship not badminton as only a few colleges have a club and a little for cross country if your good enough. Of course D-III is you just play your sport as they never offer sports scholarships.

List of all D-1 colleges and lower that have teams in cross country not all do , but it's good amount. In the Source Box
