<p>OK so this is my 3rd year in marching band and i'm sick of this crap. too much sun, too much work, not enough TIME!!!!(for IB junk).</p>

<p>So basically i was wondering if i quit band at the end of the year would that somehow decrease my chance getting accepted into MIT? I mean im already an officer, i'm already 1st chair highest band, i've done basically everything their is too do. the only reason i would stay another year of suffering would be for it to look good on my app. now i know mit is a math/science school so some of you may be going "pff Mit doesnt care about band" but im just a bit cautious.</p>

<p>wat do you think?</p>

<p>don't drop it if you like it-but obviously you don't. MIT won't care, especially if it is currently hindering your academic performance.</p>

<p>Right Conversation:
"Why are you quitting band?"
"I've accomplished a lot and am ready to move on."</p>

<p>WRONG conversation:
"why are you still in band/taking that many APs/in that class/trying to join another club/fill in ANYTHING here?"
"so it will look good on my college application."</p>

<p>I quit band after two years because I didn't need anymore PE credit. Your reason totally pwns mine in the face, and I still got in, so... yeah, I see no problem. :)</p>

<p>Sry, should have clarified in my post, but yes, I am in marching band as well and during band camp, we also marched 12 hour days in 90 degrees weather, so believe me, I can say it's not tough if I want to. As I said earlier, you just need a strong mindset and perseverance.</p>
