Back in May 2008, in a local profile about Magnus's singing talent, the music department chair of her school district was quoted as saying "Hands down, I think she'd win 'American Idol'."[9] During her senior year in high school, she was voted the most individual girl.[10] She auditioned as a vocal major Berklee College of Music, but was not accepted.[11] She attended Salem State College, but dropped out after one semester because she felt out of place as a non-partier.[12] Magnus worked as an apprentice glassblower in Hyannis before taking part in American Idol.[6]
