-I'm an avid songwriter. I have composed 4 songs and written all music and lyrics. The songs have been professionally recorded, copyrighted and played on WUSB radio station. I played piano and synthesizer on them. I sent a CD as supplemental material with three of my songs on it. Hopefully they listened. If so, it will really help me I believe. I have played live for a Breast Cancer benefit concert and solo. I take piano lessons every week.

<p>I know I lack the premiere standardized testing numbers that many of Wesleyan students have. But, I have a pretty solid EC foundation because it's not a meaningless laundry list of clubs (aka BS). I am an avid musician and baseball player and it shows. I have a real strong essay, recommendations, and interview, as well as solid GPA which falls right in with most Wesleyan students. Give me an honest opinion.</p>
