Should I submit an art portfolio with my application?

Hey everyone! I'm passionate about art, and I'm considering submitting an art portfolio with my college application. Is this a good idea, and do you think it will help improve my chances of getting accepted? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! It's great to hear that you're passionate about art and considering submitting a portfolio with your application.

Whether or not to include an art portfolio depends on the colleges you're applying to and your major. If you're applying to art-related programs or majors, a strong portfolio can definitely improve your chances of getting accepted.

For non-art majors, submitting a portfolio can still be beneficial, showcasing your dedication to an extracurricular activity and adding depth to your application. However, make sure your portfolio is well-presented and reflects your best work.

Remember to check each college's specific requirements for portfolio submissions, as they may vary. In any case, your passion for art could also be highlighted in your essays or through participation in art clubs and competitions. Best of luck with your application!
