Submitting an Arts Portfolio

Applying to College
1

Hi, I am looking to apply to schools who have the option to submit an arts portfolio. I do music production and believe it is part of who I am. Thing is, I do hip hop beats more than anything. I just feel like the people reviewing my app or listening to it might not like it just because it is hip hop. I can provide an example upon request, but I would like to hear from others what they think I should do. I connect music to my hope of becoming an engineer because I am essentially innovating and/or creating sounds that harmonize together and build a track from the ground up.

Thanks in advance.

Contrary to your defensive thinking, I actually think that they’d be very interested in your work as long as your work demonstrates creativity and high level of quality. I say go for it.

Thanks for the reply. I do put a lot of time and effort into it. I have even made money from it. I just don’t want to come off as “not to par” because it isn’t piano or something like that.
