Thanks for the insight on the cut system. I have read a bit about this on another thread and think you are right on with the positive of it. Most students that have lived through the cuts say that it usually doesn't come as a surprise for most kids that are cut. Faculty is usually on their case ahead of time and letting them know that they are in danger of being cut well before the juries/cuts arrive. It's better to find out earlier in the college career instead of later that maybe they are not cut out for all the work. I don't think the cut is a matter of talent but of work being done in the program (classes attended, work turned in, punctuality, and work ethic). It probably doesn't feel any less terrible knowing this if you are being kicked out of a program.
