<p>I spent a good deal of time putting together an instrumental arts supplement as well as a detailed resume of my experience. If you're not an international award winning musician or "best in state," will it still help? I've heard that some schools evaluate a supplement 1-4 and if you get a 4 it will help your application a lot. However, if you get a 2-3 it probably won't help; and if you get a 1 it hurts. Does anyone know? I'm curious b/c I'm hoping that my supplements will pull some weight.</p>
<p>I can't comment on the 1-4 ranking system, as that's the first I ever heard of it.</p>
<p>A recent thread is here, <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/603633-regarding-art-music-supplements-please-help.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/603633-regarding-art-music-supplements-please-help.html</a> and please follow the additional thread links posted within.</p>
<p>Whether your supplement will carry any weight is a function of your talent(s), potentially your primary instrument, and will be VERY school specific.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
