[quote=Anonymous]My dd is at an Ivy with a competitive club culture. As a first year she applied/auditioned far and wide figuring she’d get rejected by most ( accurate), get accepted by a few ( also accurate) and find her groove. She participates in a couple of competitive groups and has a leadership position in an “everyone invited” type of group and it’s a good balance. The thing is these groups and clubs are all student run and some don’t have the budget or capacity to just take everyone. You can’t have 200 kids on the debate team or 50 a capella singers. She says it was a great growth experience for her to get rejected by some groups that were the college equivalent of things she excelled at in high school (slight ego bruise being part of the process) and there was a lot of growth in that time. Anyway the FB parents will get nowhere complaining to the college admin they don’t run most ECs in college the students do.[/quote]
