Broadly – and this is a big generalization – and larger universities, the competition for acceptance into some organizations will be more competitive because of the numbers. For instance, my public flagship kid was interested in continuing his debate-type activity in college. At a university of 30,000 undergrads, the organization had a total number of 15 members and was taking 2 new students his 1st year, based on try outs. He was a 1st alternate, none of the accepted applicants dropped out, so that was the end of that activity for him. In contrast, if my LAC kid wanted to pick up a club sport or try something else new, it was generally a question of signing up though of course, if he couldn’t carry a tune, or act, it wouldn’t have occurred to him to try out for singing or theater production.
