[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter submitted a musical supplement to Williams and Pomona but did not position herself as a music major - music has been a long-term and major activity for her, one she knew she would continue in college. She was accepted by both and, while I can't say her supplement moved the needle admissions-wise, she was encouraged to reach out to the music faculty at both schools during the application process, which she did. They were amazingly kind and helpful and one of the schools (can't remember which) even asked if she wanted to schedule a private lesson. She learned so much more about their music departments, programs, performance opportunities than she would have otherwise. They also both asked if she would consider EDing, but she was applying RD everywhere.[/quote]

Did she submit test scores? Overall were her stats on the high end for accepted students at those schools? Assuming full pay?[/quote]

Yes, her test scores and GPA were high - top 10% of her HS class GPA-wise and 1550 SAT. As I said, no reason to think music moved the needle - I was more just commenting on how available and engaged she found the music faculty at both schools while she was applying.[/quote]
