[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to be unique. What you have to be is the best (or top few) of people who resemble you. Play violin, get stacked against all the other violinists Play bassoon, het stacked against the few other bassoonists. Same for all other ECs and academics.[/quote] But where it's good to be uncommon is that it's MUCH easier to be the top violaist than the top violinist. That's true even in professional orchestras. DCYOP recruits talented-ish young violinists and gives them free lessons and promises of elevation to the top orchestras if they swap to viola. Now take that and divide the number by 100 for kids who fit some super niche that a college needs to fill or finds intriguing.[/quote]
