Which do Ivys like

Piano player- won state and regional recognition
Violin - concertmaster of a few school orchestras and regional orchestras+ all state orch and honors orch 4 yrs
Athlete- 4 yrs

<p>All of them are good, put them all down. No one is better than the other (unless you are GREATLY better in one than the other).</p>

<p>actually only one applies to me</p>

<p>The only one that would be a real hook would be athlete, and then only if you're recruited. Ther are a ton of violin and piano kids, especially from the Asian communities.</p>

<p>I would say the piano player. Regardless of the fact that tons of asians play piano, not every single one of them get state and regional recignition. The athlete is a toss up b/c there's plenty of 4 year varsity athletes that still don't cut it to get recruited or play for college. Which ever one applies to you just remember that nothing is ever guanteed when it comes to ivies,no one actually knows how they pick the students, all we can do is take an educated guess.</p>

<p>What about the violinist?</p>

<p>Whoever presents themself the best. Otherwise, anyone but the athlete (unless they're varsity and have accomplished something significant, like regional records).</p>

<p>"What about the violinist?"</p>

<p>haha...i assume you're the violinist?</p>

<p>I think athlete implies varsity. Intramurals and frosh/soph team don't really count</p>

<p>I really depend how good an athelete you are</p>

<p>well ive played the violin for 10 years now and compose my own pieces, and ive played on two varsity sports a year since 9th grade and i would count my extracurriculars (there are others, lol) as above average but middle of the road for selective schools. I say you need all three of the aforementioned talents.</p>
