Should I send in a video of me singing with my application?

Applying to College

<p>I'm applying as an engineering major to some top level schools, for which I'd like to think I'm fairly qualified. One of the main focuses of my application is music - I'm president of my school's honor choir and I founded and direct a men's a cappella club called "the Acafellas." Would it be beneficial to my application to send in a video of me and some of the Acafellas singing? It would be the first verse of Amazing Grace, with me singing the melody. I have a pretty good voice and the Acafellas sound lovely. Would a video effectively demonstrate my leadership skills as well as my talent for singing, or would it just distract from applying as an engineering student? Thoughts?</p>

<p>Thanks a ton :)</p>

<p>If the school accepts an arts supplement I’d do that. It would be especially useful if the school has a music program of some type - even as just a club level thing - and many do. The Common Ap will indicate if you can do an arts supplement and how to do that. A lot of them like it to be video a file you upload. If the school doesn’t take arts supplements, then I wouldn’t do it - just mention it in your application.</p>
