[quote=Anonymous]Playing in the youth orchestra, can't hurt, but won't be a silver bullet for admissions. If it is one of a number of things done "well enough," then she may begin to look like a dilettante. On the other hand, if she can draft an essay that incorporates her love of violin, builds from it, that could be a starting point that makes her look a little unusual (not because there aren't a zillion other kids who play violins, but because she actually loves it). If she plays well enough and the school(s) to which she is applying ask for a music portfolio (as happened w/ my DS and piano), then that may also help.[/quote]
