Mine was 740 and I did get in.  I also flunked out three years later.
I survived.

Okay okay ... a joke...

Rumor (fantasy perhaps) has it that there is a long break in the 
third movement of Beethoven's Ninth for the bass players.  So the 
custom during rehearsals for the bass players of one local orchestra 
was to tie a string around the score to hold their places, and step 
backstage for a little spirited refreshment.

Comes time for the bass part in the third movement, and the conductor
looks up to see the bass section missing.  Naturally he was concerned.

After all, it was the bottom of the ninth, the scores were tied, and
the bassists were loaded.
