[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just tried to rush the pre-med fraternity at UVA. They take 30 new members. It's an undergrad population of 17K kids. So about 450 kids showed up last week and the acceptance rate this spring is going to be 5%. The 30 are chosen after writing 5 essays, going to 5 open rush events and then being whittled down through a series of closed rush events and interviews--basically a total of about 10 in-person things. It's ridiculous why a campus of 17K kids has 30 spots for something like this. [/quote] 17k kids but how many are pre med? A thousand or so? A frat house can’t hold 450 new kids each year, 30 is reasonable.[/quote] These kids have been raised in today’s competitive culture their whole lives. They like the clubs to be small so it seems more exclusive and prestigious. It is ridiculous. [/quote]
