Optional supplements

<p>Out of curiousity, how much of an impact do you think art and music supplements have in admissions? And how many students submit them?</p>

<p>They are sent to faculty who rate them. If you get a low rating, then your art and music talent will not play a role in the decision-making process. If you get the highest rating, then it can help you a lot, although I doubt that can override low grades, scores and poor references.</p>

<p>if you get a low rating, can it hurt your application?</p>

<p>No, it can’t hurt your application. (I suppose, unless the recording was very clearly plagiarized or something.)</p>

<p>Would it increase my chances if people think I took good photographs???</p>

<p>“Good” photographs is pretty vague. My guess is it probably won’t help much.</p>

<p>Have you taken a class in photography? Have these photographs won awards or been shown in a gallery? Has a professional told you you have talent? If so, they’re worth sending in. Otherwise, probably not.</p>

<p>Are the arts supplement deadlines extended to Nov 7 as well?</p>

<p>I would assume so, but make sure you mail it in a few days before.</p>
