<p>Hi Everyone,
I'm an African-born international student and I'm big into creative writing and would like to show Tufts an example of my writing beyond the common app essay. Please how do i go about this? I haven't found any info on how to go about this, and please, does Tufts (like many other schools) warn against using the Common App Arts Supplement? If yes, can I submit creative writing by hard copy (as a small portfolio)? But the Common App supplement allows for only dance, music, visual arts, etc.</p>
<p>For your question about arts portfolios – it’s unlikely to have much impact. I’m much more interested in learning about your perspective, your intellect, and your sense of self. If there is an arts piece that can help convey that, I think it’s appropriate to send a piece in, but an entire portfolio usually doesn’t add. </p>
<p>Also, between the Common App and our three supplemental questions, you’ve got some space to stretch that pen.</p>
