<p>I want to send in a picture of my artwork, however, I cannot copy and paste onto the common app area..and there is no place to upload a document. Should I send it in through mail to the admissions office?</p>
<p>whoops…i forgot to mention this is for the optional essay 6a</p>
<p>I think that’s what you have to do for that prompt. I think they physically want the sheet of paper in their hands, so sending it is your only option.</p>
<p>or you can do the art supplement on the common app. On the first part of the normal application it asks if you want to do the art supp and if you check it the art supp comes up on the supplement page</p>
<p>Send it via the mail. That’s what they told my son when he called.</p>
<p>My daughter, admitted for ED 1, in December, sent in her optional essay (a water color painting on an 8 x 11 piece of paper) as well as some additional (elective) documentation–college transcripts and an add’l, non-teacher rec. via snail mail. Because all of the additional “stuff” would not have been considered missing by the admissions office (the TAMS link), my kid wrote an e-mail to her regional admissions person, confirming the receipt of the documentation. He responded, saying that he didn’t have the elective stuff. The VERY helpful receptionist did a search and found all of the stuff, in their original envelopes, on my daughter’s admissions person’s desk.</p>
<p>My daughter feels that there might have been less difficulty locating her stuff had she called the admissions office soon after she gauged her stuff to have arrived (but she didn’t want to bother them). So, not to make any add’l traffic for the admissions people, but it would probably serve you to call about your stuff’s arrival sooner than later; if nothing else, it might prompt putting your optional essay in your folder or whatever sort of system Tufts has for corralling all of an applicant’s documentation.</p>
