<p>Recs will be amazing. I've had all teacher write recs before, and they are amazing. They really are from these teachers.</p>

<p>I know I really don't have too much of a chance. I'm hoping the arts profiles will take huge presidence over stats.</p>

<p>I know a ton of kids who go to walnut hill; it’s really not too much about academics at all–as long as you have a good average, which you do, your acceptance relies almost solely on your audition (IMO)</p>

<p>Oh wow. That’s really reassuring. Thank you so much. I was worried.</p>

<p>Do you know how motivated the students are. I’d die if I was around a bunch of [academic] slackers who use their art as an excuse. I doubt that’s what it is, but Ihave to check.</p>
