<p>I sent an arts supplement, actually a music supplement, on a Mridangam performance (Mridangam= Ancient South Indian Drum) with my EA app, but, like I’m not sure what they’ll make of it. I would not be surprised if I submitted the only Mridangam supplement, almost of those who actually play it are professional artists (no performance opportunities unless you’re a beast expert). So like I’m not sure how they’d judge mine, mine’s not exceptional, it’s decent, but the only other people you could compare it to are professional artists. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea what the art department would make of that?</p>
<p>im just gona throw it out there that i think the atmosphere of this thread should not include chance me’s
but thats just my opinion</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure the fine art department would not appreciate the stick figure tho. IMO it seems like admissions would get a laugh out of it…followed by a rejection because the applicant doesnt take things seriously? who knows. that’s what i would do.</p>
<p>ditto on the no chances. please, there are other threads for that. at this point, we’ve all submitted the app already so how will that change anything?</p>
<p>btw, i still want to go to stanford even if they did just lose to cal :P</p>
<p>sorry i couldnt get the happy cloud or the house in there, they proved to be too involved for me. And thats supposed to be a flower below “mommy” btw.</p>
<p>What if someone submitted some really elaborate/intense/amazing ASCII art? I mean with detail, shading, meticulously selected font colors and symbols, etc. (Like what you see if you look up “ASCII art” on google images- that kind of stuff.)
How do you think the art dept. would react?</p>
<p>totally thought about that as i was drawing it prussia</p>
<p>if i had been the origional creator of Akbar ITS A TRAP then i would have submitted it w/o question</p>
<p>i suppose it would depend on the criteria of the arts supplement evaluation… if origionality and impression play a large role then i would say yes, if the evaluation is centered on talent then probably not.</p>
<p>I agree, no chances. I’m actually not a fan of those threads either. Stanford is way too hard to predict, and it’s not like anything we say actually matters.</p>
<p>@NitroHawk. That was amazing. I think I should print it out and submit it as a late art supplement for you.</p>
<p>23 days.</p>
<p>When are you guys going to start freaking out? </p>
<p>For me, it’s like surreal that I actually applied. I feel like none of this is actually happening, so I’ll probably freak out once I get the email.</p>
<p>For me, it’s more like a gradient of freaked-outedness; a steady and progressive stepping deeper into the hopeful/anxious/doubting/obsessive madness.</p>
<p>I am currently on level 5.
There is no turning back.</p>
<p>I’ve somehow convinced myself that I’ve already been rejected without shattering my subconscious notion that the decision is still an eternity away. Which makes for a fragile mental state, overall.</p>
<p>I like that everyone thinks they are going to be rejected. If you guys are all right, then I have a much higher chance of getting in. </p>
<p>=) Unfortunately, I doubt that all of you will be rejected.</p>
<p>I think I’m beginning to freak out. I used to check college confidential like once a month, then once a week, then once a day, and now once in the morning and once at night.</p>
<p>I have to admit, there are some days (usually the romantically successful ones) when I just think, “Who even cares if I get into Stanford? My life is great anyway.” Then there are days like today…</p>
<p>ever since I turned in the app ive slowly stopped caring… I really only obsess about things I can control and I’ve accepted that this is somthing I can no longer control.</p>
<p>I’m the exact opposite. If I can control it, then I don’t care as much. I hate that I can’t do anything about my application now, which makes me think about it more, which distracts me from homework/school/friends/failblog.com</p>
