[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be in your shoes in a few years, OP, with my violinist child. If your son wants the slimmest chance at an Ivy, he needs BOTH competition wins AND community service. If he wants to be a shoe-in for a second-tier school, he needs both as well. Is he doing math competitions as well? I know it's tragic to focus so much on how it looks for college apps, but I've got a high school senior who just went through the college admissions wringer and the stakes are high. My violinist kid does one competition a year. Her latest one landed her at Carnegie Hall. She would like to tutor kids one day, when she's older. I encourage her in all of these things because violin has built up her self-confidence and mental stamina in a wonderful way... but it's also good for college applications. Good luck. Learning to time manage all these activities is also quite tricky. [/quote] There are kids in Ivies who don’t even play instruments. This is ridiculous. [/quote]
