Waitlisted... show em my skills?

Applying to College
1

<p>Dear CollegeConfidentials,</p>

<p>I was waitlisted by Pomona College. I be bummed. :(</p>

<p>So I'm considering about sending supplemental stuff to adcom. I sent a very solid letter of interest, I got someone to write another rec for me, and I emailed + phoned them about my interest.</p>

<p>So now... I would like to send them some slides of my artwork. I don't want to come off sounding arrogant, but I'm really really good at art. Some of my stuff got sent off to state competitions and were featured in the newspaper so I want adcom to know how strong I am in art.</p>

<p>The only reason why I'm hesitating about sending art in is because I'm not majoring in art... but I would definitely do art during college... so...</p>

<p>Is this a good or bad idea?</p>

<p>Yes, colleges like applicants with great skills.</p>

<p>Like bow hunting skills, nunchuck skills, computer hacking skills...</p>

<p>Thanks for the unneeded sarcasm. <_<</p>

<p>Anyone else please?</p>

<p>send it in - shows your creative/multi-talented.... how is that going to hurt the application</p>

<p>Do you have a moustache?</p>

<p>edit: but if you're not actually going to be studying art, I'm not sure it would help to send such a supplement. Either way, I suppose it doesn't hurt in anyway, especially since you're waitlisted, so go ahead and send it.</p>
