<p>I have heard that if you had some connections with the college such as their music program, volunteering there, etc... that it will raise your chances of being accepted by that college... </p>
<p>how true is that ? </p>
<p>Honestly, it depends on the college.</p>
<p>But, it can demonstrate your interest in that college. It will help a little, but don’t expect it to get you into a top-tier school just because you volunteered there.</p>
