Let me preface this by saying, NO this is not a joke -
Basically, I have uploaded an album to soundcloud, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea or not to put a link to it in the additional information section of the Common App, as a pose to submitting an art supplement, which I do not plan on doing. Thanks for your feedback!
You seem fixated on Penn. why is penn THE school for you?
How would the mixtape add anything to your application? What kind of skills does it showcase? The traditional art supplement is supposed to show work and talent, not something that anyone can do with a computer. Unless I’m thinking about the wrong thing.
I know it’s not a joke, but I had flashbacks to the Harvard rejection letter discussing the “fire” mixtape, haha.
I don’t know if it’d be a good idea; art supplements are usually reserved for portfolios in classical/visual arts. Do you intend to pursue a music-related career? If the answer is anything but yes, I wouldn’t recommend submitting it; even if it were yes, it may give across the wrong idea that you’re treating their application like a joke, no matter what you intend.
only if you know its fire…and if you and your app are really focused on music
if you were as famous as psy…
Is this mixtape, like a rapper mixtape showcasing a musical talent either vocally or lyrically. Or is it just taking some preexisting songs and putting it on mixtape.
Anytime you have to preface your idea with “NO this is not a joke -” you already know the answer.
You know that the vast majority of readers are likely to think it is a joke, as will the adcom.
