<p>Those are the generic ECS.
My main passion is music. My schools music program travels around the United States and Internationally every spring and have won nearly every competition. </p>

<p>-1st Alto Sax In Symphonic Band.
-Lead ALTo in HOnors Wind Ensemble

-I also have recieved nearly flawless scores on all of my judged nyssma performaces, including a 96 on my All State Jazz peice. </p>

<p>-I also will submit a supplemental CD that I had professionally recorded of me playing my all state Jazz peice.</p>

<p>-I also play piano and guitar privately.
-I have studied under Arlene Szabo for 10 years.
-I also have become a member of the National Piano Guild of America at the National and State Levels.

<p>-Guitar I have taught Myself, but have achieved relative mastery.

<p>-I am also very involved with the community. In addition to various service projects with Club Interact,Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, and the Tri M music Honor Society, I personally run a toy drive for less fortunate children during the holidays. I do this by going around to local orginizations and people and asking for donations. </p>

<ul>
<li>Lastly I have played Soccer Since Age 4.</li>
<li>I was a starter on JV Soccer in 8th and 9th Grade</li>
<li>3 Year Starter on Varsity</li>

2

<p>Bump 10 char</p>

3

<p>Anyone????</p>

4

<p>class rank, ACT and SAT 2's for an unhooked applicant too low for Brown I think......... but passion for music and great recs and essays..who knows? </p>

<p>wish you luck</p>

5

<p>Scores are low but passion for music is incredible. Write good essays and you'll have a strong chance.</p>

6

<p>your passion for music is incredible but I still think Brown is a reach.</p>

7

<p>Your are good for BC, NYU, and BU.</p>

<p>Brown is iffy, despite the great hook (music), mostly because they focus more on diversity and well-roundedness than most of the top schools. (Note that normally BC is tougher to get into than Brown, but not in your case).</p>

<p>I think you should apply to Stanford. The grades are great, you obviously are extremely skilled in one major thing, music (Stanford looks for this probably a lot more than most schools)--and despite your slightly lower ACT/SATs, you've taken an extremely tough courseload</p>

<p>Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.</p>

<p>P.S> no, they don't superscore ACTs.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

8

<p>I second the Stanford suggestion</p>

9

<p>Thanks So much guys.
Will it effect me that i intend on minoring in Music rather than majoring?</p>

10

<p>BUmp 10 char</p>

<p>But i really appreciate it guys, I always thought NYU and BC were more high match low reach types but now I have suggestions of Stanford lol. Its a little different.</p>

<p>Does anyone else have any imput?</p>

11

<p>Anyone out there? haha</p>

12

<p>You're a strong candidate for all schools other than Brown. But Ivy League admissions are impossible to determine, so you have as good of a chance as anyone else. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>Thanks alot.</p>

<p>Also could someone chance me on these schools?</p>

<p>Tufts
Northeastern
COlumbia
UPenn
Georgetown
George Washington
Duke
Yale</p>

<p>And am I thinking too confidently when I say that the chances of getting into 1 Ivy is possible?</p>
