<p>Now, I hate to tell you, I do not have any athletic hook or talent to play in D1 sports.
I am first place winner in SCMTA (South Carolina Music Teacher Association), which is competition for piano major, but obviously I am not the piano major.
Can piano be a hook for top schools</p>
<p>My major strength is academic. I am top 0.9% in my high school (class rank)</p>
<p>So lets say you are valedictorian out of 100 students, that makes top 1%.
If you are valedictorain out of 200 students, that makes top 0.5 %. haha (division...)</p>
<p>Can music be a hook? I spend tremendous time on music but I feel like college like athletic students (obviously because they have D1 sports) but did they like musically talented students?</p>
<p>I am also considering MTNA (Music Teacher National Association) which is national competition.</p>
