<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>My gracious, I think you are making a most dreadful of mistakes. You belong in no other college than the Spanish University of Vienna. With your kneen sense of musical ability, and your high apitiude for foriegn language, you would do well in such a cosmopolitan city, in a world-class college of liberal arts learning. Forget Harvard, my friend. The Spanish University of Vienna is where you belong.</p>
<p>haha i know lol. Harvard isn't completely practical for me but hey i'll check out that college thanks for the suggestion ^_^ (how did you know i was good @ languages?)</p>
<p>You only put high school achievements on your college application, so eliminate about half of what you listed. No adcom in the world is going to care that you were in 3 piano competitions in the third, fourth, or fifth grades. Nor are they going to care that you took 6 months of saxophone lessons in the fifth grade.
Putting all of these things that you have done for 1-2 years in middle school will get you nowhere, unless you got good at them (no, good does not mean squeaking out unclear notes to a few songs), and then perhaps you can tie them all together and present yourself as a true lover of music who has learned all of the instruments available in a passionate quest to consummate your thirst for musical form and instrumental virtuosity.</p>
<p>Then again, isn't music like the most common EC at Harvard?</p>
