<p>I'm an art student and I know that JHU likes talent and abillty. I want to submit a profilio of my work- but I only have two pieces that I consider done and resolved from this year (last year was crap). </p>
<p>Can I send in those two pieces and be like " sample of my art work " </p>
<p>Would it even help anything?</p>
<p>well, it wont hurt you.</p>
<p>i say, go for it.</p>
<p>it won't have a tremendous impact on your admissions decision, but if the pieces are well done and refined, it definitely wouldn't hurt to show admissions another side of you -- especially, because hopkins admissions in particular like to be "holistic" in their approach.</p>

<p>"Supplemental materials are welcome additions to the Johns Hopkins application, whether they be CDs, slides, portfolios, art work, etc. The admissions counselor will review these materials, but are unable to spend much time with supplemental materials. Our time is spent focusing on the important parts of your application: transcript, essays, recommendations, resume. </p>
<p>As far as what role they plan, I must say they play a minor role. Usually they can add context to the resume of the applicant's interests and/or passions -- and that can't hurt. They often will elaborate on something important in the applicant's life, and once again that is important for an Admissions counselor to know. But in the end, it still is your academic performance, your essays, your recommendations, etc. that matter most.</p>
<p>Supplemental materials will neither make nor break your application."</p>
