<p>Is this true? Is Yale really low on violinists? My violin teacher told me…if it is…yay!</p>
<p>At a school like Yale – I highly doubt it.</p>
<p>Judging by what I’ve seen of the Yale Symphony Orchestra, I am certain that Yale has no lack of violinists</p>
<p>Your violin teacher doesnt know what he’s talking about.</p>
<p>You wanna know why there is NEVER going to be a shortage of violinists, pianists, flutests, clarinets, etc at these top schools? Cuz every asian with a 4.0 and 2300+ SAT’s also plays one of those. So unless you’ve recorded an album (and not some b.s recording just for the sake of recording), playing violin is gonna do jack zilch for your application =/. Sorry… harsh realities~</p>
<p>I saw the YSO Halloween concert (which was awesome). I’m pretty sure they have enough violinists. Of course, that doesn’t mean that it does ‘zilch’ for your app.</p>
