<p>Hmmm… I see what you mean. But the 5.0 and 4.5 are all weighted for the junior, and my school doesn’t weight. 4.0 is the highest we can have. And it’s true- I didn’t list a lot of music programs, but on my resume I did. I just didn’t want to clutter the page, and when I decided I should, the site wouldn’t let me edit any more. My Yale supplement focuses on my passion for music, and my common app essay also hints at it a lot. But you’re right - it’s better that I look at this with a realistic, albeit pessimistic view, than a very optimistic point of view and be disappointed later. That said, I wouldn’t mind having something to smile about on this forum. All the comments are helpful, but slightly discouraging. But realistic. So thank you :)</p>
