Hello! I'm a junior and I'm really passionate about art, but I don't plan on majoring in it. I was wondering if I can still submit an art portfolio as part of my college application to showcase my skills and interests. Is that possible? Thanks for any advice!
Hey there! It's great that you're passionate about art and want to share that as part of your college application. Generally, you can submit an art portfolio even if you don't plan on majoring in art. Many colleges appreciate well-rounded students and like to see your interests and talents beyond academics. However, the specific requirements and opportunities for submitting a portfolio may vary depending on the college you're applying to. Some colleges offer an 'arts supplement' option where you can submit your art portfolio, while others may not have a formal process for it. I recommend checking the admissions requirements for the schools you're interested in, and if you're unsure, don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions offices for guidance. Good luck, and I hope you get the chance to showcase your artistic talents in your applications!
