On many of my colleges, I listed that I would send a music supplement. I’m regretting my decision because my skill isn’t that impressive compared to the vast number who are sending them. I’m wondering whether a bad music supplement will either be ignored (hopefully), or whether there will actually be a detrimental effect.
Just because you listed it does not mean you have to send it. If you haven’t sent it, and you don’t feel it will contribute to your application, just don’t send it. Fit’s already sent, it probably won’t hurt you, but not much you can do about it now.
I think the only way it would hurt you is if you indicated you had some great awards or were a top performer and then your music seeme daub par. Having a passion for music and spending a lot of time on it isn’t a bad thing even if your not that fantastic at it.
And don’t compare yourself to anyone else. We don’t know how you sound. Maybe you’re just fine. You don’t have to be a prodigy to submit a supplement.
My DD is a talented artist but she’s not a Picasso. She spends a lot of time on art and has taken many lessons. She sent in an art supplement of her best works and you know what? She received many $$$$ in scholarships as a result.
Why not get a second opinion on your musical skills from a teacher and then see if you don’t change your mind?
@skieurope If I don’t want to send it, do I just wait till the music supplement deadline passes? Or should I call the schools? Also, thank you very much for the information.
You can let them know that you changed your mind. Really up to you.
@skieurope I’m sorry to bother you again, but just to clarify, if I do nothing and let the deadline date pass, will it automatically count it as if I never listed to submit a supplement?
If you don’t know, that’s completely fine, and I really value your advice, thank you!
