Chances for Thornton School of Music

<p>I am a student form the metrowest Boston area. I go to a competitive public high school, one of the tops in the state.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.2 UW 3.7 W</p>

<p>SAT: 650 M, 620 R 660 Wr</p>

<p>I want to get into the music bussiness or piano program at Thornton.</p>

<p>I have taken piano for 12 years, Percussion 8 years</p>

<p>Won MICCA Gold 2005 for percussion quartet
Have competed in numerous competitions for piano
Pit orchestra all four years of high school</p>

<p>BTW how competitive is the marching band?</p>

<p>The music industry program at Throton is extremely competitive to get into. With your stats, it would be a stretch. Marching band is more so based on skill, obviously. I don't know anyone in the band so...can't help you with that.</p>

<p>However, given your awards, getting into the piano program may be more so up your alley (you could always minor in music industry if you didn't get into the program).</p>

<p>I applied to thornton for music industry, too.</p>

<p>12 years of piano, 7 of flute
piano competitions forever-kinda lessened when i started jazz and accompanying more in high school
1st chair flute for 3 years (205 people in our band)
-consistent regional honor band, superiors at districts/state solo and ensemble
-2007 all-state
-orchestra pit for 3 years (soph-piano, jr-flute piano, sr-will play flute)</p>

<p>did you audition for music industry? it looks like your sat scores are pretty strong...the opposite of me. i look at everyone on here and it makes me nervous.</p>
