[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just between us gals, if he was another race, do you think the results would have been different?[/quote]

No he had bad ECs.  You need to do more than school activities if you want a spot. His profile was not interesting to top schools which is why he was shut out.  He was a regular smart kids who was a good test taker.[/quote]

didn't he play an instrument for 10 years? that is hardly nothing.

also these comments that the rest of his application must have been lacking are so dumb. a kid that bright knows how to play the game.[/quote]

Are there any high school musicians that did not start the instrument at a young age?  Any?  Sme with sports.  The kids start these things in elementary school.[/quote]

+1 No shade to this kid, but my 12 year-old has already been playing for 8 years. All that tells you is that his family prioritized music education, and had the resources to begin well before lessons were offered in school.

Any kid that takes something up in 3rd grade and sticks with it will have done it for 10 years.
Now, if my kid goes on to reallye excel at violin, that would tell you something about him. But just that he's been playing for a long time? That tells you something about his parents, not about him. [/quote][/quote]
