<p>Please read it in its entirety.</p>

<p>Understand the level of your competition here both academically and musically.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are concentrated and focused. I will not label then outstanding, not as a reflection on you, but might they be considered “average” to “excellent” within an HYPColumbia(MIT)(UPENN) high level music pool. You will have competition that has, does and will continue to perform professionally and semi-professionally within the pool. Your instrument MAY also prove a slight advantage over the typically over represented ones (violin, flute, piano, cello) but this is very school and often admit cycle specific.</p>

<p>They may run more to the side of excellence at the balance of the Ivys, and Stanford.</p>
