[quote=Anonymous]Agree 100% with PP. Just understand why your kid may want to go to a serious arts school and make your decision based on that answer. And seriously people don't seem to really understand how and why colleges pick students these days. Everybody who can afford tutors can come up with good grades and high SAT scores. So with thousands of applicants being equal what gets you over the line? Generally that is a specialization or skill that distances you from the next person. And frankly a kid with a B in English and Math but who can play the hell out Monk, Miles, Chopin or Bach is way more attractive than just another A student who just checks off all the standard summer camp/volunteer/test score boxes.[/quote]
