How much would an art supplement help for me? (Example inside)

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Ideally, I'd like to apply to Pomona with an art supplement to make up for my lack of ECs and maybe Stanford as a long shot. However, I have heard that the level of skill needed in a portfolio for it to actually increase your chances of getting in (if you lack the typical academic achievements) is extremely high. </p>

<p>I have been searching for examples of art supplements which are considered qualified, but I failed to find any. I know the entire area of what is considered "good enough" is somewhat vague, but I was wondering if any one you could at least tell me if I should try to submit an art supplement?</p>

<p>Here's some examples taken with a low quality scanner/ camera.

<p>very nice, esp the last two! From what I know, which isnt much, is that you need to submit something from in front of you, something interpretive, and something else. I would email the art dept at Pomona and say - " as I am putting my portfolio together, would you please let me know what types of work and how many examples I should include in it". I would also look at the art dept website in the academics/majors portion of each college and see if they have anything about that.</p>
