<p>Hey i was wondering how i would display articles showing my string ensemble’s success in Lincoln Center, local talent recitals, Tilles Center, etc… in a way that ad coms will be able to see. I plan to display the articles on maybe a construction paper and insert that into my profile. Does anyone know a better more efficient way of doing this? Also, i want to know how i can display letters in my profile too. like a letter i received for performing at lincoln center, and the letter congratulating me for all state. should i display those letters WITH the artlces? or what should i do with them to show the adcom i really “did do these things”. thx a lot.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>bump…thx</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>From a fellow musician, Just write them on the app and mention your accomplishments</p>
<p>wont it be nicer to give evidence for the accomplishments by neatly displaying them in my profile? in case they dont believe me, but i think this is a good way to make the profile better. maybe itll show them how determined and efficient i am for taking the time to do this?</p>
<p>they don’t like bulk usually. The best thing to do is call and ask :)</p>
<p>I am an all state musician, very accomplished too, if you want to give them proof, I would send a tape. The schools don’t want to read anymore than they have to, sending in a bunch of pictures and letters won’t really help. Maybe a recc from your band director can verify things?</p>
<p>yea im already considering sending a recording, im in orchestra btw. but, my parents tell me to save all letters and articles. i think it looks so much nicer if i display them in my portfolio. itll only take up 2 pages, and the articles are not that long. i just want to give them an indication of our ensemble’s success, and my individual success as well. does that sound redundant?</p>
<p>They will probably take your word for it. Sending articles will only bog them down…which is bad. ;)</p>
<p>It doesn’t sound redundant, it really depends on the schools you are applying to and if your major will be music. If it is your major, sure, go for it. If it isn’t, i wouldn’t really bother unless its a small selective school.</p>
<p>my major actually wont be music, probably a minor. but the reason i want to do this is because i want to show my level of passion and committment to something i love to do, which is music. i want to apply to the ivy leagues and other highly selective institutions, and these days they look for “passion” in specific extracurriculars, so thats why i want to do this kind of thing.</p>
<p>Hi, I’m just getting really really confused with the difference btwn EARLY ACTION and EARLY DECISION.</p>
<p>Many of my friends told me that applying early has a much greater admissions rate. One of them got into cornell recently, which has an acceptance rate of 42% for early applicants.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>woo-i showed a strong passion for music through my reccs, essays, and EC descriptions. I would not bother the highly selective universities with a lot of paper, they have a ton of musicians apply. Are you applying this year?</p>
<p>Jimmy-to certain schools, you increase your chances by applying early. I don’t know if the 42% was true for this years admissions, but it is defintely higher than RD admission rates. Early action is not a binding contract whereas Early decision is.</p>
<p>im actually a junior now, but yea i forgot about recs and essays. i actually wrote an essay concerning music, and i plan to get a rec from my music teacher too. but will more evidence hurt? wont taking the time to do this show effort? i dunno. maybe not. but thats what i think. thx for ur advices btw.</p>
<p>bump… thx</p>
<p>what more do you want info on?</p>
<p>so im not sure if i should go through with this or not. will it hurt me?</p>
