<p>I'd like to send in some photography work I have done throughout high school. Some are digital, some are print... I don't have the means or the extra money lying around to go make slides at $3 a piece...</p>
<p>Would they take a CD along with a few prints?</p>
<p>Hmm... probably, and it can't hurt to try. However, unless photography is really your thing, it probably won't matter all that much to them (I'm trying not to be harsh, but applying to college is a harsh game).</p>
<p>lol you could say that ;)</p>
<p>I said this in another post...but the WORST they could do is not LOOK at it. They won't be like ..ew they sent a supplement..they can't get in here. I agree that unless photography is your thing...it won't matter too much..but who knows? Send it in anyway</p>
<p>It has to be good. It really has to be good. It's kind of hard not to look at photography. Minimal effort there if it's in the folder. Inevitable, actually. Sending them something bad will work against you. Trying to use mediocre talents to get into college will really not work. If you're good, though, send your stuff.</p>
<p>At the info session, the guy from the admissions office who lead the session told the story of one supplement. An applicant (I don't know when) sent in a shoe. With the shoe, the person wrote, "now I have one foot in Columbia"</p>
<p>The person was waitlisted but eventually admitted. The guy still has the shoe in his office, he said. A supplement like that lives on in the minds of the admissions officers. . . haha I'm glad that person got in.</p>
<p>^I heard that same applicant did something like that for a different college, UPENN i think. He was accepted until UPENN found out he sent the other shoe to a different college (Columbia?) and they rejected him.....</p>
<p>haha..dang!</p>
<p>if that's true.. ouch</p>
<p>man is that allowed? why wouldn't they tolerate the kid using the same idea elsewhere eesh</p>
<p>Why would they be able to legally rescind someone's acceptance just because they sent the same supplement idea to another college?</p>
<p>He didn't say rescind, he said reject. And they can do it for whatever reason they feel like, they're private universities.</p>
<p>My first thought when I saw the thread's title was "Columbia probably doesn't appreciate steroid users." (You can tell I'm a baseball fan.)</p>
