<p>Hey all! Glad to see the new forum is up and running smoothly. Looks excellent I might add. Onwards to the point at hand. I am applying to Columbia College ED. Here are my stats. For reference, as to the music supplement which I am submitting, the CD came out better than I could have hoped for. It contains excerpts from my Oboe, Alto Sax and English Horn playing.</p>
<p>Thank you all for reading. I await your responses.</p>
<p>ooh an oboe player =P</p>
<p>Doesn't sax mess up your embouchure? Gotta love the oboe... As for your chances...hmm I'm not an expert on these sorts of things (I'll leave it to the pros) but I hope you get in! </p>
<p>I just wanted to support a fellow cali oboist, haha.</p>
