<p>Thanks for the suggestions guys. So I’d assume that LACs with less than 9% would give me an AA boost right?</p>
<p>"As far as the musical instruments, you may want to be aware that “Asian American applicant whose primary extracurricular is piano or violin” (and majoring in biology to do pre-med) may be a too-common stereotype from the point of view of an admissions committee. "</p>
<p>Haha nah, I play a few instruments but none involve piano/violin. I’m involved in the marching band, indoor drumline, and eventually an orchestra. so I’ve spent lots of hours on music.</p>
