Hi, I am a high school Junior and I recently got an email confirming that I won second place for the Concerto Competition. A month back, I attended an ensemble that traveled to NYC and performed at Carnegie Hall. Although the musical experience was wonderful (everyone's level was definitely better than All-state level), I suspect part of the selection was the whole "pay and play" basis. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the American Protégé competition is similar to the one I attended? Is getting second place and performing at Carnegie Hall worth it if I've already been there before? The application was 160$ so if anyone knows if this competition's selectivity is low, please tell me! I'm also a little worried about college admissions because I don't intend to apply as a music major but would still like to show that I've accomplished a lot in music (I hope) (made All-state every year etc.) Thanks!!
If it helps, I am looking at Cornell and Columbia as reach schools. My SAT is 2230.
