<p>I also made this thread in chances so sorry if anyone's annoyed by that. </p>
<p>ok. so....this is sort of confusing, but please bear with me. I applied stanford SCEA....but I've been thinking about calling them to change it to RD. BECAUSE-I do indian dance(bharatanatyam) that I've been doing since middle school. Bharatanatyam is something I spend a lot of time with and I think it's sort of unique( of course a lot of people do it but not that many). Also, I am good dance(not to be arrogant). HOWEVER, I have really not participated in any dance programs because I chose not to (b/c I thought dance was something i did really for myself) and so I didn't submit an arts supplement for early...but now I'm thinking i should?</p>
<p>so. do you think changing my plan to regular and submitting an arts supplement would help me? because dance is something I've done for a very long time...and i don't suck at it, even though i didn't preform. sorry. I think i could have done a better job explaining.</p>
