For selective schools, admissions expect you to be an expert in something before coming to college because you need to already be an expert to succeed in college. You can’t walk in with no experience. At UVA, even the pickleball club is selective

Are you expecting to get different comments than the ones you’ve received the previous times you’ve asked this question?

After a quick search, I see that the UVA pickleball club has over 700 members. I’d hardly call that selective.

– Didn’t you graduate from UCLA in 2023? Time to stop complaining about things that didn’t work out for you as an undergrad.

–-It is up to students to understand the landscape at a college they choose to attend

–While some clubs are competitive, there are always clubs open to all. For example a friend’s kid did not get into a competitive business club but joined the (open to everyone) Habitat for Humanity club and ultimately became treasurer.
