Extra essay supplement?

<p>So I know a lot of schools will let you send in extra stuff to supplement your application. I already plan on submitting an art supplement (I draw!) to Wellesley, but I was thinking about what I could add to make my application stand out more.
I have a friend involved in English academia and we were recently discussing the representation of female characters in movies/video games/etc. Eventually my replies got so long and I had so many footnote references that it began to look like a feminist dissertation.
I know schools generally like it when you send in excerpts of creative writing, but do you think I could send in this "paper" to Wellesley?
I still need to polish it up and remove some profanity, but it'll be about 5 pages when I'm done. I don't really expect them to read it all, but I'll attach a paragraph outlining what it's about. I'm applying to major in Women's and Gender Studies, so it won't be unprecedented. </p>

<p>I just wanted to get y'all's feedback!</p>

<p>not sure… but… email/call them! say hi to them! they’re nice! and they’d get to (maybe/hopefully) remember you a bit! ;)</p>

<p>sorry that wasn’t much help…</p>

<p>Ah, that’s a really good idea, actually! I might shoot them an email, 'cause then they have something about it to attach to my name. :wink: </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I am actually planning to submit an art supplement too! But I was wondering how should I submit it?</p>

<p>@waiting, Wellesley uses a website called Slideroom. There should be a link to it on the Common App (in the little list under Wellesley’s name where you can see the link to recommenders, the writing supplement, etc.). It’s 10 bucks for visual art and I think a little less for musical/theatre supplements.
Basically on Slideroom, you submit photos of your work (or if you’re a digital artist like me, the .pdf file) plus a short description. </p>

<p>Good luck with it! :)</p>

<p>@sludge Thanks :slight_smile: Yeah… For my rd, i did find the slide room but since I did ed, now i don’t have access to wellesley slide room :frowning: </p>

<p>But hey! I do digital art too! i LOVE photography <3</p>
