<p>This fall I plan to apply ED to Pton. I have a strong GPA, 6 APs under my belt, 2360 SAT, SAT II 800/760/760. I'm worried about my EC list though. My biggest commitment has been piano, but I feel that it really isn't too distinctive among HYPSM applicants. If only I had known this 12 years ago when I started! I love playing and have reached a high level, but I think that dancers, actors, and orchestra members are benefitted much more by their activities in the admissions process. Do you think that the strong commitment I have towards piano, even though it's not all that rare (although I am white, not Asian), will help me much in the admissions process?</p>
<p>Also, is it true that Pton is trying to recruit more artsy students, and, if so, would piano "count"?</p>
