that's even stranger to me. is that common to just try out somewhere else if you don't make a team? like this isn't just an all star gym down the street... this is COLLEGE and your entire future. i get being sad that you didn't make it and really wanting to cheer... but that is just wild to me. and it's May. so you've more than likely paid nonrefundable tuition and housing deposits to the original school. possibly even attended orientations and made your schedule, depending on the school. you go to college for an education, not cheerleading. cheerleading is an added bonus.
hate to break it to everyone, but cheerleading isn't everything. there is, in fact, a world out there beyond it.
Oh, I'd tend to agree with you (guidance counselor here!) College is most definitely for an education first.
But many higher level athletes are defined by cheer and not making a cheer team is a huge dealbreaker for them in terms of attending that school.
