It’s not hard if you’re not an ahole because you know how much work the kid put into it.[/quote]

Our kids who study hard, act in plays, win speech & debate competitions, tutor peers, and write for the paper also are kids who put a lot a lot of work in. they just don't feel as entitled to gain admission with lower academic standards!

why should students whose EC is sports gain admission with lower academic standards to play sports that don't bring any benefit to the school's other students? who watches cross-country, volleyball, squash, etc.?

at least diversity helps everyone by not having people in bubbles.[/quote]

CMU theatre kids don’t need test scores or grades anywhere approaching the non-theatre students. This is true of other schools with strong arts programs.

Do they get pre reads? I didn’t think so.[/quote]

I am sure that they do. They are called auditions.[/quote]

Sure, they audition for the music program. They audition for their field of study. To be admitted to that program. They don’t audition as part of a special admissions process just for their particular extracurricular activity.
