<p>Sorry to bait you guys into clicking this thread but I need help to answer two questions for a friend of mine. First what is better to have on an application - playing an instrument for six years or playing a sport for four years. Second, what is the best site to read student reviews of different colleges. Once again, sorry for the deception.</p>
<p>Depends on the intrument. </p>
<p>Piano and violin = no difference. Whereas Harp, Oboe, Bassoon, etc. = big difference. (Unless you're a virtuouso at one or more of the more common instruments.)</p>
<p>How dare you make me click this fallacious thread lol</p>
<p>if the <em>person</em> is a nerd with really good scores I'd go with the sports so as to show he's not ONLY a nerd... and that he actually did physical activity.</p>
<p>Lol if this thread <em>baited</em> so many people why do u only have 2 comments.</p>
<p>oh and i like using <em>asterisks</em></p>
<p>You'd get more answers if you just asked whether playing sports or playing an instrument is better when it comes to admissions.</p>
<p>I might have answered that question. I don't answer posts, however, when their subject headers were deliberately misleading. In fact, once I notice that a poster has done that, I stop clicking on their posts.</p>
<p>I also think that if your friend is so interested, your friend could post instead of expecting you to do so. Is this the same friend whom you were apologizing for?</p>
<p>oooouuuu.....</p>
<p>someones' in twobbllee with the 'rents</p>
<p>and deservedly so.</p>
<p>well, i played bassoon for 7 years (1st chair of my high school district), but i didnt really it felt like it made much of a difference on my college apps... maybe cuz i wasnt all-state or anything.</p>
