When I served on the Admissions Committee at one of the country’s finest universities, we were fortunate to have an abundance of highly qualified candidates.
Students with experiences like Pacific Boychoir Academy, though, would always go to the top of my list.
These students have demonstrated achievement that goes well beyond the classroom, and they have acquired skills that will serve them well for a lifetime.
