I play five instruments. I'm very good at one of them and am going to send in a live recording of one of my concerts. I've done competitions, played at Carnegie Hall, and did competitive summer programs for it. I also play oboe -- it's an urban myth that if you play oboe, you can get in anywhere.
President of two clubs at school. Leadership in other stuff too. I do mostly fun things/stuff I'm really interested in. No academic extracurriculars other than MUN, which isn't exactly academic.

<p>crystal~ i think you have a decent shot! you sound a lot like my graduated UVA d. she was a serious musician, tho not a music major. it was her primary focus, as it is yours. taking the “hardest work load possible” is extremely important for UVA admission. good luck!</p>
