[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bassoon is a huge hook.  A huge hook is one that increases your chances of admissions a huge amount.

Most huge hooks only help admissions by a huge amount for a hand full of schools.

[b]All you have to do is sift through all the schools for those who have orchestras with admissions pull.[/b]

[b]Then narrow the schools further to orchestras that haven't used their admissions pull for bassoon the last two or more years.[/b]

On the one hand, there may not be more than 10 schools that meet those criteria.

On the other hand, if Stanford is one of them and you play bassoon at a high enough level, bassoon is enough to get someone with a 3.3 unweighted and 1250 SAT admitted.

IF you really are at the top of the bassoon heap, you should be able to ask around through the people that run the All State and All Eastern programs and find schools that will help bassoon players.

The thing to point out is that programs that use bassoon as a huge hook will want a huge bassoon commitment.

If you use a huge hook to obtain admissions with barely qualifying stats and meet that bassoon commitment, your chances of graduating are not that great.[/quote]

How do I do this??  Help![/quote]
