<p>Such as recordings, portfolios, etc. as supplements to the overall application. The other schools I'm looking at are pretty split; some of them explicitly say no, whereas others encourage art portfolios even if I'm not applying for the design school. Does Berkeley? Thanks</p>
<p>No, they will only look at what they ask for. Otherwise, the admissions office will be bombarded with extra material.</p>
<p>I can’t answer specifically about art or design, but the Department of Music does invite students to send what they call a “Special Talent Supplement.” You have a couple of extra weeks to submit the supplement (due date is December 15th).
