<p>So I'm really into Hip-Hop and not in a bragging way, I know I'm really good at it. So is it worth it to send in a dance supplement of Hip-Hop, or is it over done ? I know its acceptable.... but does Stanford focus a lot on their hip-hop clubs?</p>
<p>they do not focus on them
as long as you are sure you are very good, it cant hurt, can it?</p>
<p>It’s interesting… it might help you out…it may not. but it certainly won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>do you think it could help?</p>
<p>It depends really… if you are exceptionally good at it and if you have invested a lot of time in it (which would be reflected through your resume) then, yeah it could. If you’re mediocre then it won’t necessarily help, but it won’t hurt your app. In other words, if you don’t get in it won’t be because of your supplement (not insinuating you can’t get in, but just trying to put the art sup in perspective).</p>
<p>I think alot also depends on the evaluation criteria, like if origionality is taken into account then you would be set… And not that you arent brilliant at it or anything but if its more evaluated on workmanship/quality, then it might not be much of a boon simply because it would be difficult to say how good you are compared to other dancers.</p>
<p>if it was me i might work this into the “tell me about yourself” essay vs submitting an arts supplement, but if you feel you are exceptional and would meet the very very high quality standards of the arts supplement, then like it was said above, it cant really hurt…</p>
<p>If you are applying to Stanford in general and not to a special major such as music, this supplement would not be evaluated by an admissions officer. Whether it be hip-hop, classical music, or ball-room dancing, the standard admissions officer would not be qualified to evaluate your talent. You could be the best or the worst and they wouldn’t really know. </p>
<p>This type of supplement would only help in applying for a special type of major and then it would be forwarded to that department for consideration.</p>
