How are there no cuts for club sports at Duke? That makes no sense.  Club women's soccer at UVA is like D3 level soccer (many kids chose not playing soccer at UVA over attending a D3 to play soccer). Tryouts had about several hundred kids for a half dozen spots. I have a hard time believing Duke is different. [/quote]

Why is it hard to believe that different schools have different approaches to these things? [/quote]

I don’t know about Duke personally, but I know someone who went to Stanford, and most club sports teams there are extremely selective. I have a hard time believe Duke someone isn’t selective  [/quote]

Again, what is true at UVA and Stanford is not necessarily true everywhere, even if you have a "hard time" believing it . . .  :roll:
