I like many of the above suggestions as target schools. W&L is a reach. Wake maybe a low reach? My daughter has slightly higher grades and likely lower test scores. She also attends a known prep school and is a three sport varsity athlete but not recruitable. Her guidance counselor has provided a list of the obvious choices for kids like her from her school. The thing is, like you, she is pointy in music. She reached Nationals in her instrument in the MTNA competition. We are finding it difficult to sort out how much of a hook that is though. Her counselor says that at some schools it is similar to being a recruited athlete however it’s nearly impossible to know if a particular school needs her instrument in their orchestra or other ensembles. I think as a result, if an ED school does not emerge or come through, she will apply more broadly to reach schools and hope that a match will come through in EA so we can skip the safety round. In any case, I think that being a multi sport varsity athlete and being a top musician will help you stand out. It’s a fairly rare combination.
