<p>***. Dude the comment about learning a new instrument was pretty insipid. But anyways, yeah I did apply to HYP. I was deferred Harvard early and ultimately rejected, but a music prof sent me a letter saying he enjoyed my CD. I was waitlisted and then rejected at Princeton and rejected at Yale. I did get in at Penn and Rice though(Cal Tech also, but they didn't care much for the music). Hey music is a HUGE selling point. Sure there are tons of music people, but how many are as competitive and successful as you? Universities are always looking for people focused in their field of choice, and you seem dedicated. Start making some nice recordings.</p>
