** It doesn't matter how talented you are; Juilliard isn't going to admit you if you're 12 years old. Child musical prodigies like August are basically the reason that conservatories like Juilliard have pre-college/preparatory programs for local kids. Likewise, while the piece he writes works for the movie, it isn't the sort of thing that would impress a modern composition faculty, much less ''floor'' them. Then there's the addition of the fact that they accept him into their school right away; what happened to the incredibly rigorous audition process these kinds of schools normally put people through?
** How is that kid playing an acoustic guitar with a distortion pedal when there's no amp? Someone on the writing staff doesn't know how guitars work.
<!-- %%Just a note for those who are tempted to add JustifyingEdits to the first example here: One younger person who got into a prestigious music school does not disprove the general rule, especially if it happened decades ago. Also, getting in at 15, 16, or 17 is not the same as getting in at 12. -->
