Kids can’t even get spots to be part of groups that volunteer sometimes! At Northwestern, Dance Marathon is a big fundraiser and now it’s super hard to get chosen to volunteer for that event! Essays and interviews, etc. and who knows how the kids are chosen. I’m guessing it doesn’t hurt to know an upperclassmen on the committee to pull a younger student in. It also makes the school feel very competitive with kids trying to get a resume going and feeling like they need to be in these clubs. So, behind academics, kids are applying for these spots multiple times trying to pad a resume. No thanks.
