Hi there! It's great to see that you're passionate about art and writing and want to showcase your talents in your college application. Many colleges do allow you to submit additional materials, like artwork or writing samples, as part of your application. To do this, you'll want to check the specific guidelines for each college you're applying to, as the process can vary from one institution to another. Some may have an option to upload additional files directly with your application, while others might require you to send materials through a separate platform like SlideRoom or via email. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and submit your materials in the format requested. It's also a good idea to pick out the best examples of your work that demonstrate your skills and creativity. Keep in mind that admissions officers are often pressed for time, so you'll want your additional materials to make a strong impact. Best of luck with your college applications, and I hope your passion and talents shine through!
