Both citymom and vanessama nailed it.

My two kids have followed their respective Muse with our complete support.

My son is a classical violist (BM, summa cum laude, Hartt '07) and my daughter has her degree with high honors in animal care.

Both majors a bit unconventional, but they knew exactly what they wanted from an early age.

Both got into their first choice schools. Their backgrounds showed passion and committment in terms of employment, activities, awards and achievements in their respective areas.

A demonstrated dedication to your area(s) of interest will go a long way in making you exceptional.
