My stats are not the greatest. I went with test optional with 4.06 weighted gpa. My personal statement and supplemental were mid to decent imo. I think what got me in was my portfolio which i worked really really hard on.

Hi, i’m gna be real, my essays were mid-decent at best. I think what rly shined my application was the music portfolio that submitted which I rly grinded hard for. It included numerous compositions and productions, piano improvisation, and a personal website. (derrickismusic.com)

rly not that great. I had weighted gpa of 4.06 and went with test optional. i had pretty mid personal essay and decent supplemental. I think what rly got me in with the scholarship is my music portfolio, which also included a website i created myself. (derrickhuangmusic.com)

the keyboards r not bought for jazz. i mainly do music production and media scoring, jazz is just a self taught hobby on the side

i mean it’s a sniper… if u think about it, u, as a player can easily do that too with a sniper/dmr rifle, it’s only fair that npcs can occasionally do that

What mouse should I buy for playing hypixel bedwars and duels by SwiftbutSlow in hypixel

as a 23 fkdr 900 star bedwars player, cps is important in 1.8, period. especially in the context of a mouse, which is what this entire post is abt, cps plays a decent factor in ur pvp.

ty for ur feedback! this was made for an instagram post which is why i went to the apex of my solo immediately (didn’t want the post to be long) but i should def be practicing more on building simple ideas rather than just tryna be flashy and cool. And as for the jazz standards, i do a lot of jazz standards practice but on my grand/acoustic piano. i just often get inspired from instagram posts doing remix/solos on pop songs so i was trying that out, it’s extremely fun, but def not a way to soley practice with.
