Duke Music Portfolio

Hi,
I’m doing early decision to Duke and I’m planning to major in bio there. However, I also have a heavy metal band outside of bio that I really enjoy doing. We have written a couple songs which I have posted on youtube. I kinda want to share these videos with duke if possible. I know Duke has allow you to submit a portfolio, but it looks like the recordings have to be professionally recorded. Most of our songs are not really recorded with high quality equiptment. Do you thinnk I should just put the link to my youtube channel in my additional activities section or should I submit them as a portfolio? Thanks!

I would take a look here first: https://admissions.duke.edu/application/instructions.html#artistic_supplement-artistic_supplement-music

Unless the songs are “outstanding,” I would put your youtube channel link in your additional info/activities section in your Common App.

Thanks for the reply!
