Hello!
I put down an arts supplement on my common application, intending to submit the same piano supplement I did for my other schools. However, I just realized I only had two pieces, while Princeton wants “preferably” a prelude/fugue by Bach, a first movement of a sonata by a classical composer (which I have) and a 19th or 20th century solo (which I also have). I have a prelude I have been working on, but it would be a bit of a time crunch to be able to get it into recording shape.
On the other hand, Princeton also has a creative writing option of five pages of poetry/fiction/nonfiction/translations. I write in my free time, and have had some publications in my school’s literary magazine. I mostly write poetry and fiction, and definitely have enough to fill the five pages. However, I have not been widely recognized for creative writing.
In short, which portfolio should I choose? Both require about the same amount of work, so I just want a second opinion.
Thank you!
