4

<p>Never doubt yourself even though no one can be sure.</p>

5

<p>Do an arts supplement for bass (or live audition). Stanford likes musicians.</p>

<p>Never compare your kid to cc chance threads. It’s useless.
Also, don’t think about what stanford wants. Just represent yourself in a good light and play up your strengths. Worked for me.</p>
