[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s college parent Facebook page is blowing up with parents complaining their DC auditioned for theatre performance/music/improv type clubs, did not get callbacks and are [b]accusing college of being deceptive (saying clubs are not inclusive like college promised in the tours) [/b]and kids want to transfer and
parents want to talk to the administration. Is this happening at lots of colleges as club decisions are made? To me, it seems unfair to the kids that do get accepted to the clubs, presumably based on their talent and hard work, not an expectation to walk on.[/quote]

Anyone who went to college knows that most clubs ARE for anyone who shows up. Come on, though, we all know you don't get to be in a university-level theater production without showing you have singing/dancing/acting skill.[/quote]
Read the Atlantic article.  You're misinformed.[/quote]

Colleges in the article: Yale, UCLA, Berkley, Georgetown, Harvard, Penn, Cornell.

They're the most competitive colleges in the country. If you think those are average, normal colleges, you aren't familiar with many colleges. Those schools are on a different level. For everything.
