[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid loves his instrument and doesn't do other extracurriculars.  He does do all the music extracurriculars he can do (private lessons, orchestra, jazz band, pit orchestra, mentoring a younger student, regional orchestra) and he'll graduate with 7 high school music credits. He practices a lot, but is not interested in competitions.  He wants to play in college and will probably do a music minor.  He doesn't do anything for the sake of college admissions but I think it will be apparent that he's committed to music.  He's a strong student but very laid back and not really interested in prestige and selective schools, so he's not looking for "hooks".

I know a kid like this  - didn't win any competitions but composed his own music, played on stage at HS with many different instruments (but not orchestra) and private venues all the time - and he got into HYP.  Under advice from counselor, he was packaged as a musically inclined in many different instruments. Also contacted the HYP music depts.  What was important was his passion for music. Was he so proficient to win competitions? No! But what came through was his love for music.[/quote]
