Why do you think this program should be easy to get in?

Ah yes, here's the reliable groundswell of support from compassionate DCUMers. Nowhere in that post did I say I thought it should be an easy admit. I would liken it to the recent Ravens/Chiefs game. Nobody thought it would be easy to beat the Chiefs - yet, going into the game, it wasn't unreasonable or silly to think that the Ravens COULD have done it. It just didn't happen for them. My DD was highly qualified for that program, and we 100% supported her throwing her hat in the ring. It is disappointing not even to get an interview. Sorry, but that's how I feel.

I’m sorry.

I think these programs have gotten extremely competitive.

Much higher admit rates than Columbia College.
