[quote=Anonymous]I'd look at it this way -- it's too late now to change things up. If she wants to quit because she's tired of it, that's one thing, but she's not going to be able to magic up some other ECs between now and application deadline time.

I think she should lean in to the band experience on her applications. Colleges aren't necessarily looking for individuals with breadth; they're often looking for pointy individuals to create a class with breadth.

She needs to focus on writing knock-it-out-of-the park essays, and putting her best foot forward in showing her commitment to music (which is just as much, if not more, a teamwork exercise as a sport is). Group awards are nothing to sneeze at. This has been her passion and commitment up to now, and she shouldn't be ashamed of it or compare herself to her friends.

I also wouldn't worry about the weight boost, or lack thereof, at all. Schools know what that is all about and as someone said above, they will recalculate it in their own way.[/quote]
