Intended major in math or finance; include photography portfolio?

Applying to College

<p>Hello hello!</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior ambitious as the next, and also a sucker for all things math, science, social justice, and photography.</p>

<p>In brief, I'm applying to some most selective schools with my intended major being either mathematics or finance (LOVE both!), but I mention in my app (or rather app-to-be) photography as an EC. I also list a few photography awards. Taking pictures is probably one of my default ways to spend free time, and I think I'm fairly decent at it. Should I include a photography portfolio/ art supplement with my app? Will they be like, 'y'all can't take pictures lulz leave', or words to the effect? (Ie. if admissions dislikes my work, will they have a sour taste left in their mouths?) </p>

<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>

<p>If you’re very very good, and you have a high level of formal instruction in photography, and if there is a professional photographer/teacher who has been working with you for a while (ideally throughout your high school career), and if that person can write a glowing recommendation for you discussing your training etc. then an arts supplement is the way to go.</p>

<p>most colleges tell applicants whether or not they should submit an art portfolio. check the admission websites at the schools you are considering.</p>
