<p>How do you join one of the choral groups? Do you get credits or letter grades if you join a choir? When is the audition? How about theater acting?</p>
<p>Some groups are school-sponsored (concert choir, chamber chorus, women's chorale) and others are student-organized groups (all of the a capella groups). The school-sponsored groups can be taken for 6 units of academic credit per term. Similarly, there are school-sponsored and student-sponsored theatre groups. </p>
<p>A list of arts groups at MIT can be found [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/arts/do/groupsclubs.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://web.mit.edu/arts/do/groupsclubs.html]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Auditions are held at a different time for each group, but you will get all the information you need at the Activites Midway during Orientation -- that's when you can sign up for audition times. There will probably be some information on auditions coming in the First-Year Summer Mailing, which I think should get to you sometime in July.</p>
<p>So basically, this is how it works:</p>
<p>You show up for the Activities Midway, and you get stopped about 50 times by people asking you to audition for a capella groups. The first 15 times you explain, "oh thanks, but you don't WANT me in your group," and then after awhile you just learn to ignore them.</p>
<p>If, however, you're into that kind of thing, I imagine you rather enjoy the attention. =)</p>
<p>Thanks! So, exactly how many credits do I need to graduate from MIT? Choir does not count toward GPA, right? How many non-GPA-related credits may I take and still meet the graduation requirement?</p>
<p>There's no limit to the number of non-major/non-GPA credits you can take for graduation -- you just have to take 180 units outside the GIRs for a single major, no other restrictions apply.</p>
<p>From the wording in the course catalogue, I am pretty sure choir is for a grade...? Actually, it looks like if you take two semesters of choir for credit, it will count as one HASS elective.</p>

Each of the following subjects earns 6 units. A total of 12 units is needed for a subject to count toward Institute Requirements in Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, by petition to the COC.

<p>Choir is for a grade, really? Doesn't that mean an easy A? Mollie, would you please ask any of your friends whether anybody got a B or below in the choir before? Thanks!</p>

this is getting a little ridiculous</p>
<p>I don't know many people in choir... you might want to ask [url=<a href="http://sam.mitblogs.com%5DSam%5B/url">http://sam.mitblogs.com]Sam[/url</a>].</p>

I'm really sorry...I will ask other people when I go to MIT. I am truly sorry about the hazard I caused. Mollie, I'm sorry.</p>
