I’m still not sure what the OP is getting at, but if your student wants an orchestra career in a top orchestra, they should learn to play with extreme technical accuracy and (at least in the case of strings) work with a teacher, and this does not necessarily need to be the primary teacher) on excerpts. It really doesn’t matter what you do in your college orchestra; it’s the audition that will matter. Connections do help, but the audition is the key.
