<p>Basically I want to know what my chances are of making FandM. Here are some details about me. I am a caucasion Female, I have Lebanese, German, French, and Greek ansestry (don't know if that helps at all haha). I play violin, piano, and I sing. I take all three instruments very seriously. I'm a junior at a small private school that sends most kids to Penn and the Ivys (I'm not that good haha). We have good ties with FandM and we send a good amount of kids there. My brother goes there, he's in the 2010 class. </p>

<p>So thats basically it. I do tutor Korean children in Math and English in the summer. I'm big on extra curriculars, and I might not send my SAT scores in, they're not that impressive but my writing samples are great. The connection I have to FandM is that my brother goes there, and I visit him alot. I visit his classes and stuff to get a feel for things. I love the place so much. I'm also planning on talking to the head of music and giving him my recordings. If I forgot to mention anything I guess I'll just add it when I edit it. </p>
<p>So, what are my chances of making FandM. Taking into consideration the grades, sats (if i send them? you tell me your opinion), extra stuff. Wow, I jotted down so much, I'm sure I forgot something. Thanks so much for reading this HUGE thing. Tell me what you think.
