<p>First off, I agree with the above commentator. However, I think it also depends on your intended major. For example, if you intend to major in photography, this will definitely help your chances a lot more than say if you are intending to major in physics since you’re already so accomplished. </p>
<p>That is not to say that it won’t help you if you’re a physics applicant because it’s still a fantastic supplement, and being a photographer adds “diversity” to the physics dept. Though if two applicants with equal stats applying to physics with one being you and the other being nationally publicized in physics research, I would assume the college would choose the researcher first.</p>
<p>But as my counselor says, every thing counts.</p>
