<p>I've recently been contacted to audition for a performance at Carnegie Hall. I'm indecisive whether should practice even more than I regularly do for Carnegie or should I practice on a SATS, APs, Scioly, etc. The colleges I'm thinking of applying to are the ivies plus stanford, USC, University of Chicago, Emory, John Hopkins, Northwestern, Boston College, you get the picture. My question is if I play at Carnegie will it increase my chances of getting in or study for my SAT, APs and extra circulars.Really appreciate it!</p>
<p>Definitely. Playing at one of the most ubiquitous theaters in the world is much better than getting 50 more points on the SAT.</p>
<p>It depends. Some college may musical talent more desirable than others. Some may like kids that have public accolades more than others. It seems to be an outside measure to your recognition as an up and coming talent. If that looks better that what you already have on your ‘resume’ then great. Maybe you already have some competition wins or something so it matters less.</p>
<p>Also some people really don’t need to ‘study’ for the SAT, just a few practice tests are okay because their whole hs career has been preparation, so self evaluate that, is it really going to take much time?</p>
<p>I’d select this based on personal decision. You seem indifferent to the event itself, so in that case you pass. If it is exciting to you do it. I wouldn’t never decide this on ‘getting in’. </p>
<p>Maybe people in the music majors forum will have a better idea what impact this has. Are you going to be a music major or not?</p>
<p>No. But I love music as a hobby. Probably will join the marching band(if they have one)at the colleges I get accepted into. I haven’t really won any awards for my musical talent it being so unique. </p>
