The way in which DD ultimately found piano to "impress" come college time was the number of years at the activity, quite honestly. There's a lot to be said for a decade or more of sustained study like that, and college ad-coms seem to know it. It speaks of a genuine commitment, not window dressing, if that makes sense.
HK, could you please let me know how you documented the decade of sustained study of the piano for college admissions? Was it through a letter from her teacher? Or did you have cerificates from exams taken over the years?
