<p>Music: Okay. this is a HUGE part of my application - I sent in a CD + a recommendation letter + a resume. Sooooooo :)

- I go to the Manhattan School of Music Precollege Division EVERY Saturday for the past nine years and I'm the concertmistress of the Philharmonic Orchestra. I have straight A's in MSM for the past 9 years (sent colleges my transcript from there too) + I've done enormous amounts of repertoire which I won't list here. </p>
<p>** Other misc things I guess - **
Interviews: Wesleyan & Swarthmore - went reallllyyyyy well!
Essays: Apparently I write really good essays about myself.. :O So I'll go so far as to say that I really like them.
Teacher recs: I got 3 of them - They'll probably be pretty good x)
Family issues(?): I included a document in my supplement about this - my parents are divorced so that combined with the fact that I go to a school that is (driving time) 20 min away from my house & I need to take the bus to/from school - it makes it really hard for me to have leadership positions in school clubs b/c I would have no way of getting home if I stayed after for club meetings & all that. Same goes with sports - I would do more except I can't really b/c I'm always late for sports (my school has no sports so I need to go to the public high school to do them) and I never get to practice on time, etc. </p>
<p>I think I'll stop here (?) --- lolol, chance me I guess? hahah. Sorrryyy I'm new at thissss.</p>
and will doo</p>
good luck w/ cooper u! i’m doing their questionnaire thing now. ugh</p>
