So, one thing to mention is that I’m an early grad; I’m technically in 11th grade, but graduating at the end of this year. Please don’t ask why, it’s personal and I prefer not to discuss it here. My absolute #1 school is NC State because it’s within driving distance from my house (so I can live with my parents) and I don’t have to spend thousands of dollars for living on campus. I absolutely, positively want to go here.

ECs, most of which are band-related:

-Member of marching band for 2 years (joined sophomore year)
-Student leader in MB, acquired 2nd year (most people don’t get leadership until their 3rd or 4th year, if they get it at all; it’s pretty significant to get it in my 2nd year only)
-Member of a BOA Grand Nationals semifinalist band (I’m not sure if this counts as an EC achievement, but figured I’d mention it anyway)

-Flutist, ~5-6 years
Other notes:
