<p>Hey parents -- do any of you have experience with Associated British Royal Schools of Music certificates/diploma? Otherwise known as ABRSM? It issues certificates and a diploma for 8 levels of testing for instruments such as the piano, violin, etc.</p>

<p>I was wondering if these certificates count as the "International" level of an award/honor on the CommonApp, since the ABRSM testing and certification process is offered around the world outside of England (I am a US Citizen btw).</p>
