Arts Supplement--Dance

<p>Just wondering if anyone knows how much an Arts Supplement for dance can influence college admissions, specifically at schools like Harvard or Stanford?</p>

<p>Like any other EC, it depends on your level of talent/accomplishment. Being a professional level dancer may make you stand out, while being just good will not.</p>

<p>It probably depends on your major. If you are a Dance/Art major, it will DEFINITELY help, there are no SAT IIs for those subjects, they are 100% Subjectively judged. </p>

<p>If you are a business/engineering/other unrelated major, other than showcasing a talent, I don’t think it would help too much.</p>

<p>@zoe2016. @entomom is correct. Being very familiar with both schools I can tell you that being a dancer at the highest level (Juilliard/American Ballet/professional) will definitely be a major plus…that is, as long as you have the academic chops to be competitive to both schools…</p>

<p>…and NO, both Stanford and Harvard don’t care what you declare as your major in relation to your Art supplement/extracurricular activity prowess…as a matter of fact…many get in “undeclared”…</p>

<p>Thank you for the replies! definitely not at a professional level of dance at the moment, so I’m thinking it won’t help very much haha
another question: i’ve recently gotten really interested in yoga and i plan to major in alternative medicine/nutrition during college.
i am planning on getting my 200 hour teaching certification for yoga this summer (summer before junior year)–will this help me stand out? thanks again, I really appreciate the help!</p>
