In addition, my interests and activities, in order of importance are as follows:

Would it be wise to send in an additional arts supplement of my piano playing? For example...Chopin's op.28 no. 16?

Thank you for taking the time to read over my stats. Please reply, and I will greatly appreciate it.

Those are some excellent grades! You're predicted 40 in the IB excluding the extra 3 points, which is very good (I also take the IB, and it's a much more challenging course than most others). Your SAT scores are also very good, but perhaps you could take up some more leadership positions in your ECs?
