National Merit commended, do violin competitions count?
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

Youth Orchestra concertmaster during our Carnegie Hall performance, now play principal Viola, lots of random small-ish violin competition awards, played my concerto in China with my school orchestra for this pre-olympic cultural festival. Jazz Band Bass guitarist for 2 years, Mu Alpha Theta (Team Captain), Tri-M (fouder/President)
[<em>] Job/Work Experience: I set up my own business model in junction with a violin shop about three hours away. I basically work as a local contact/sales representative selling and renting violins to students (and even a few professionals) in my area (SO much better than one of those minimum wage jobs!). I also teach violin anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a week.

I did spend a few days in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity though. I think I have something like 130 hours total.

[</em>] Essays: eh. I didnt really like the one I ended up submitting since I wrote them so last minute. My big one was about my first student fainting during his first lesson. My supplemental one was about my obsession with hurricanes.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: one great, the other was pretty generic
[</em>] Counselor Rec: awesome. I got it from my assistant principle (whos son bought a violin from me and is also one of my students. It was glowing =])
