She’s competitive, but that does not mean much, since the majority of competitive applicants are rejected. Does she have any state or national awards or public performances?

The problems is that you have condensed dozens of hours a week in dance and musical instrument, not to mention clubs, into a single sentence. For example, my kid dances, and and I know that “ballet” does not describe the details of this EC. Same for flute, same for mock trial and student council.
