<p>Certain schools such as Lafayette offer an optional art supplement on the common app. It says:</p>
<p>"If you would like to have your special talent in one or more of the arts considered as part of the admission process, this institution will accept the Common Application Optional Arts Supplement."</p>
<p>If you submit a work of art, does this mean that you must be interested in majoring in the arts or does it just mean that you want the admissions staff to see an artistic side of you? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
