<p>Didnt know what other subforum to put this under (last one I posted didnt get any replies)</p>
<p>I'm a really avid musician but I also am interested in academically competitive universities. I looked at places like Yale's jazz band (not that I think I'll be accepted there) and I'm pretty sure my own high school jazz band can swing better than them. I noticed the same for other places like Northwestern and even Carnegie Mellon were in the same situation. Am I doing my research wrong?</p>
