[quote=Anonymous]I had the post above the last, so not sure if it was directed at me.  But yes, I do. Im very familiar with the program.

Not a question of how much talent is involved, but one thing that has become abundantly clear to me in learning about modern admissions is colleges/universities are businesses.  And the most selective schools (which I presume is what is of interest) have their pick of the litter.   A ton of high talented, qualified students are competing for a small number of spots.

The ultimate question that will need to be answered, when the time comes, is how will this student meet the institutional priorities and mission of the school, if accepted?  Will Level 8 certification assist in that?

I think the key will come down to the students narrative and how it is relevant to the school and show qualities of fit. How does Level 8 cert fit into that? Is it done as part of an authentic passion for music and  instrument?  Has played a pivotal role in their development and activities? Have they made an impact on others with this talent over time?  Do they intend to use this talent to enrich the college community as demonstrated in their activities before college?

Or is it checking a box?  Answer these questions and I think there lies the answer to whether the certification will materially help.[/quote]
