<p>Looked at a few colleges' websites and here's what one of them (Stanford) said about art supplements:</p>
<p>"Applicants with extraordinary talent in the fine or performing arts may submit supplementary materials for review. Applicants submitting an Arts Supplement are expected to have demonstrated artistic talent at a level beyond what is normally exhibited by high school students"</p>
<p>What is considered "extraordinary"? And if the art you send is less than extraordinary, will it hurt your chances or is it just disregarded? (here is one of my most recent drawings if you care to see: <a href="http://oi46.tinypic.com/v43taf.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://oi46.tinypic.com/v43taf.jpg</a> ... it's Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight, would you consider my drawing ability good enough? :) spent 4 hours on it, if I sent in art supplements, I probably would spend 10+ hours on it).</p>
<p>Also:
"While we would like students with a vested interest in the arts to continue their participation at the collegiate level, an arts submission neither guarantees nor commits a student to participate in the arts at Stanford if admitted"</p>
<p>I want to major in chemical engineering so if I submitted art supplements, could it help me or would it not matter because it doesn't pertain to my major?</p>
