Hi! I’m from China. I had similar concerns as you mentioned above and I find that we share many similarities through your descriptions! I also only had about 5 years of studying the violin and have great passion on it. I didn’t have any competition experiences and I’m not even a member in any orchestra(because my school don’t have one…). I’ve searched a lot on the internet and asked many people the on same questions you had. And the result turned out just as what they said, “It doesn’t hurt to apply!” I never thought what would happen and now I was accepted to 2015 SYO. To me it was like a dream, and what’s more important is that I learnt and improved a lot in the process of the application, which made me value it more. I believe you would feel the same as long as you try your best.

I don’t know if this helps because it seems that the last round of application of the program is about to end…(I forgot exact date…) If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me! And if you eventually are accepted, please contact me as well! (I’m trying to find any one who is going to SYO this summer…) Best of luck!
