<p>I plan to submit an arts supplement along with my applications, but the websites of some of the colleges I will be applying to do not specify if they will look at an arts supplement (or maybe I just overlooked the section about it). </p>
<p>So I am enlisting your help. Which of these colleges here have optional art supplement? If so, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the page on their websites with the instructions on how to do so. </p>
<ul>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Tufts</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>UPenn</li>
<li>Harvard (I know they will consider it, but I don't know how they want it sent. ie: size, format, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>I do not know which of the schools within Cornell you are applying to-the School of Human Ecology which I believe houses the Interior Design program and some other art-specific majors has a specific page within their own website specifying what type of materials ARE to be submitted in a prospective student's portfolio. For example, what type of media, size of portfolio ( e.g.measurements, etc. D is planning to apply there and is concerned whether a HS student's portfolio will be developed enough for admission. Good luck- am unfamiliar with other schools requirements on your list.</p>
<p>I am curious about this too. What if the school at Cornell isn't one that requires an art supplement, but you want to show your art as a supplement to show a special skill?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this is correct but I think if you're creating a supplemental portfolio its different than a complete required portfolio. If you are planning to submit the portfolio rather than show it at an interview you could consider making color copies of the work you want to include and put together a stand alone portfolio. Local art/craft stores usually carry Itoya portfolios in a variety of sizes. They have acetate pages inside that you can slip the artwork into. The pages flip nicely and its easy to go through. I would include some sort of tag line or description about the project and medium and lay the pages out in a professional manor. You could include a resume as one of the pages.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I plan to major in Economics, so an art portfolio is not needed. It's just something extra to show them the fruits of my extracurriculars. </p>
<p>Also, to Georgiatwins, I plan to apply to Cornell Arts & Sciences and College of Agriculture & Life Sciences.</p>
<p>My daughter submitted art supplment to Cornell. Her dance dvd was given to a dance professor to evaluate (they exchanged emails). I can't find anywhere that says applicants are discouraged from submitting art supplement. My daughter applied to Cornell's A&S last year.</p>
