Art Supplement

Applying to College
1

<p>Does the common app colleges definitely use the art supplement available on the common app? I just found the form, but it's kinda late for my teachers to write the rec..</p>

2

<p>I submitted a photography supplement. All of my colleges except one (Dartmouth) had their own forms, and only one (Amherst) required a recommendation. You should check each college's website for the specific forms. If you're submitting visual arts, be aware that most schools require slides. </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>cameliasinensis, where else are you applying to?
only two of my schools has forms.</p>

4

<p>I'm applying to Amherst, Bryn Mawr, University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Macalester, Middlebury, Princeton, Swarthmore, Wellesley, and Williams. If your schools don't have forms of their own, I guess you do need the Common App form, but be careful to read each school's guidelines for submitting art anyway, in case they have a specific procedure.</p>

5

<p>a lot of them say slides, but theyll look at CDs. call and ask.</p>

6

<p>I sent in a CD as a vocal supplement.</p>

<p>I didn't find the form until afterward though. I really don't think it matters, but I'm not the expert.</p>

7

<p>When yu send Cd's of artwork and photos, should it be in a slide show? or just a folder with picture (.jpeg) files?</p>

8

<p>also -- will most schools only look at supps if theyre in by jan 1st? like if i send mine jan 3rd will that be ok?</p>

9

<p>jan 3 is my b-day...</p>

10

<p>soyeahiknow -- i made a powerpoint slide show. if you want, you could do both, make the slide show and also have the pictures in case they have a preferred way of viewing it</p>

<p>......Bryn Mawr does not accept photo (or any fine art supplements)</p>

<p>The OP asked where I'm applying, and Bryn Mawr is on that list... I didn't actually send them anything. That's one more reason it's important to check each school's individual policy before submitting something.</p>

14

<p>i see...i just wanted to clairfy...sorry</p>

<p>Cameli-btw...we are applying to simular schools with simular interests</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks; you too! :)</p>

<p>Yeah... some of them had them under the supps form on the common app and some of them didin't. For the ones that didn't, I didn't supply one (and just sent the supplementary material by itself) but sent a cover letter explaining what I had sent.</p>
