<p>my essay is taking form and could be really great. My letters of Rec are from 2 teachers who’s classes I did well in and i know them well.</p>

<p>I also am an All State Tenor 1 for New York State (one of the most difficult states for that)
I want a liberal arts experience and want to expand my mind before a possible grad school life in a conservatory.</p>

<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME AT
Top 3 in no order:
Wake Forest
Davidson (take audition only for scholarship)
Hamilton (tape)
Then
NYU: (audition)
Fordham
UDel (audition)
Maryland (audition)
Vassar (tape)
Penn State (audition)
Rutgers (audition)
I wont apply to all of these…b/c i might throw in a concervatory affiliated with a school…we shall see. (like NYU)</p>

<p>THANKS I KNOW ITS A LOT…SORRY!!</p>

<p>I do need financial aid but some of the schools are need blind.
Also my essay shows that despite sophomore year being my least strong academically, it was the best year of my life because of the life experiences i had.
I would really appreciate any kinda of chance or discussion about my app. THANKS AGAIN!</p>

<p>any1? no one? im sure u guys got something?</p>

<p>I’m not very good at music school chancing, but I would suggest that you consider Peabody at Johns Hopkins. A friend of mine goes there who had a GPA and profile similar to yours and she really loves it there. Best of luck!</p>

<p>yeah i saw peabody. Its a great place, but its really a conservatory. I don’t think im ready for that hardcore of an environment for music at 18. Thanks though. Peabody is definitely a great place, keep recommending it to music kids!!</p>
