[quote=Anonymous]I’m certainly no expert but I would think that orchestra would indicate the type of well-rounded students I thought they were looking for, and that taking it for four years at school as well as extracurricular would indicate his level of passion (which I thought was another desirable trait) and his potential contribution to musical ensembles on campus. I know this goes against prevalent DCUM thinking, but I think the college search should be more like a matchmaking service than a competition. As long as his academics are reasonably solid, let him do what he loves. He’ll probably be happier in a college that will value what he values. If he has to make himself miserable and sacrifice what he loves to be considered by a college, would he really be happy going there?[/quote]
