<p>I am applying to several schools that use the common app, and I am a little confused as to the arts supplement option. I'm not going to major in musical performance, but I am hopefully going to take part in ensembles and take a few classes here and there. I have been the lead in our musical 3 years in a row, won awards for playing saxophone in Jazz Band, directed the student a cappella group, made the All State Chorus 3 times in a row, won a New England Championship with my school marching band, and made the All Eastern Coast Honors Choir. For obvious reasons I am going to include these accomplishments on my application, but I don't know whether they will simply be overlooked or denounced due to the fact that I'm not going to major in music. I just want them to realize I'm well rounded and have remained committed to the activities, while also recognizing that I am successful and accomplished in these areas. </p>
<p>So...should I submit the additional arts supplement, or let my accomplishments attest to my talents?</p>
