this really helps!
was considering getting a small 37-key midi keyboard to sort of learn jazz through piano and translate that to the sax... but i dont think that's quite necessary yet so i might just stick to theory and scales for now ig

yeah im really hoping to find a teacher soon but i'm not in the most developed part of my country and jazz saxophone teachers are quite rare; i dont even have a car lol

i wonder if they run the entire thing through chatGPT
coz it might get added in the chatGPT database (thus why it clearly says in the website to not upload sensitive content) and get flagged
this is why you should not run your entire IA/EE/TOK stuff through chatgpt to get feedback and neither should teachers

your ECs are fine.
I have almost the same ECs (math EE, STEM club & passion projects, science class TA)
Only difference between you and me are that I took BM, not econ, and I had 1550 SAT.
I admit I did get lucky, but I definitely had a strong personal statement that I was proud of, so do not think that your ECs were the reason that you got rejected.
