<p>Weird question, but I was wondering if the music supplement makes, or has made, a deciding impact on an ED applicant to Columbia.</p>
<p>I probably can't compile my music supplement in time, but even if I did prepare it in time, would it make much of a difference?</p>
<p>But to make this answer to this question easier, do any of you know anyone who was accepted to Columbia ED or RD and they submitted a music supplement along with their application?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i was accepted ED. i submitted a supplement. there’s no way to know if it made an impact, because they don’t tell you anything about it. Do i think i WOULDN’T have gotten in without it? Nah, but i’m glad i did anyway.</p>
<p>however, i wouldn’t send in a music supplement unless you’re a really serious musician. given the fact that you’re not taking the music supplement seriously enough to make sure you get it done on time, I’d say you probably don’t need to send one. Music was and still is my main non-academic pursuit and I’m a very serious and hardworking musician. anyway the point is that they dont really care if you just noodle around on piano; the reason they have these supplements is to hear from people with genuine talent and artistic capacity. so long story short, if you really think it would make a great case for you as a musician, go for it. best of luck</p>
