<p>I second that goldfish… the rest are common app for me, so thats a relief</p>
<p>nuop. didn’t mention it anywhere in my essays, actually.</p>
<p>Umm…playing the clarinet?</p>
<p>no music in my essays either (though half my ECs are in band). I’m trying to get away from the Asian-science-math-music nerd image :D</p>
<p>nah, I didn’t send in a recording, unfortunately</p>
<p>um…manga?</p>
<p>i wrote one of my essays about the impact my twin sister has had on my life (it sounds cheesy, but its well written, i promise!) and then i submitted an additional essay that talked about the rare (and sometimes fatal) lung disease that i have (pulmonary alveolar proteinosis)… i’m one of 8 (that i know of) people in the world under the age of 20 that have it, and i got diagnosed at stanford medical center, so hopefully that should help! : )</p>
<p>I’m a twin too! and I also play clarinet! I guess I really fit in here 
</p>
<p>haha rock on…
i play the piano… but i guess clarinet players are cool too : )</p>
<p>I play the piano too, but I stopped taking lessons this year :(</p>
<p>I play violin and piano, but I suck at the latter.</p>
<p>i wish i could play the violin… i’m quite jealous…</p>
<p>me too. the violin is soo cool. Actually I’d rather play the cello, I think that is the coolest. That and the french horn. Lol.</p>
<p>i’ve decided that when i have kids and they reach 1st grade, i’m going to make them choose an instrument to learn… and they have to take lessons for at least a year… sounds sorta cruel, i know, but i think music is so important…</p>
<p>french horn? haha. thats random… but cool : )</p>
<p>I think music is really important too, but I’ll let mine wait until 3rd grade :D</p>
<p>Yea I just love the tone of the french horn, and how it can have both a “woodwind” sound and a brass sound at the same time.</p>
