this was really helpful as I'm working towards a supplementary visual arts portfolio for college. thank you so much to you guys for the advice!

Thanks for sharing this! It was really helpful. ♥

Hey Iris! First of all love your videos by the way! They really approach the college application process with real integrity to prioritize intellectual and human progress over the superficial reality of the college admissions. Well anyways, I am a senior in high school who is looking forward to apply to Stanford. I have been doing Carnatic Music, South Indian classical musical genre, both vocal and instrumental with a focus on vocal for more than nine years now. I have composed a few pieces, and have also received a diploma in Carnatic music as well from a university. Can you shed some light onto how the art supplemental would work for a non-western classical music style which has a completely different approach to musical concepts? How would the criteria differ, and how would the process work in general? lolll In general I am really interested in mathematics and physics, mainly their philosophical implications, and I have a sense of cohesion between mathematics and music, specifically Carnatic music, on grounds of the emphasis that they place on creation, and I have tried to frame my soft spike as an individual enamored with creation, which I define as a reapplication of transformative principles to the extent of searching for it what all he does and eventually trying to reframe society’s prerequisites for progress. I sincerely apologize for the lengthy comment. Thank you so much! Keep up the remarkable work you are doing, and best of luck at Stanford!

Dawg, the deadline is in two days if I am to submit an arts supplement. I'm one of the best trumpet players in the state (at least my awards say I am) and I have a decent (by that I mean it's bearable to listen to) portfolio, but I have like 2 days to finish some of my supplemental essays, and they could probably be better if I have a few more weeks (but not by like a bunch). I'm dying here, and I know I'll end up deciding for myself, but what do you think? Thanks for actually including what y'all have been able to accomplish btw your flute playing is insane (dat double tonguing pops)

i literally love your videos! i play a string instrument and this really helped. thank you so much!

Hi Iris! I am interested in submitting an arts supplement but on Stanford's art portfolio page, they don't have information yet on what the art requirement is for each category (it says "coming soon"). When you applied, were there required excerpts/scales you were required to choose from? Or were you able to choose your own audition materials based on a set of guidelines? Thanks!

This was super helpful! However, I'm still debating if I should submit art supplements with my applications. I'm applying as a music education major, so my applications are already very music heavy. However, I don't have any recognitions for my playing, and I don't know if my playing is good enough to submit, but I also feel that it's necessary to include with my application considering the major I want to study. Any advice on what I should do?

Hi, thank you both for video which is very informative and great effort. I have a quick question please. My sis wish to submit her art portfolio but wish to put her best pieces in the start (which will mean the chronological sequence is missed). How strictly will Stanford look for this chronological sequence, as we also believe having the good ones in the start makes lot of sense. Appreciate your info. Regards Ram

Congrats musicians!

Love it!!

Love this video but we really want to see some performances!

Hi Iris. If my interest is music composition (my style is classical). Do you think I should submit my compositions or not?

Did you submit any winners’ certificates with your supp video? If so, in what form did you submit? Or was it just stating that you got them in the honors section of common app?

Greetings, Iris! Congrats on getting accepted into Stanford! I would like to ask you a question: Would you mind if I ask you whether you know any ivy league/top universities that tend to accept relatively higher applicants who submitted arts supplement? (Sorry it seems kinda dumb question tho) I also consider submitting a piano/music composition arts supplement!

Hey Iris! I am considering arts supplements for colleges, and I wanted to ask - I’m definitely submitting one for piano, but since I’m also a violinist I also wanted to tack on a violin piece to the supplement (not as skilled on the violin but definitely still considering putting something in). Is there a way you can submit two instruments in your supplement? And do you recommend doing so? Thanks, loved the video!

holy crap im also a clarinetist and gerald’s resume is craaazy

Should I submit an art portfolio even if I don't have a music award?

Hi! My counselor really is recommending that I submit a portfolio for theatre, since I am a grade 8 with distinction in trinity’s acting course, but I won’t have much to write in my resume, because I’ve only acted for my trinity exam and was a lead in my school play, and had a small role in another school play. (Acting is something I did a lot when I was much much younger, but grade 9 onwards I’ve been not very interested in/ had time for it. ) so i don’t really know whether I should submit the supplement or not. What do you think I should do?

Hi! Do you know what percent of Stanford applicants submit an arts portfolio and what percent of those applicants actually get in? Thank you!

Hey Iris! So I am debating whether to send an arts portfolio as a supplementary material or not, because my works are not that professional since it is only a hobby for me. I am passionate about visual art but I am not majoring in art, and I've also heard that sending in not-too-outstanding art can rather have a negative impact on the application (because it may be compared with other students majoring in art). Should I still send an arts supplement? Or just write my passion for art in the essays?

Hi,Iris.I wonder if I could send a beat-making portfolio to universities？Thanks a lot!

Our school, a boy got into Harvard with a state champion for piano.

Did Jarold go to korean school in Oregon? He looks SO familiar

does the exact same apply to a visual arts supplement?

Did you major in music? Or another major? Will it matter?

How many awards and competitions should you win to express your passion towards music? I am in eight grade and I absolutely love to play the piano and the violin- Although I have been playing piano since I was 7, I only participated in one competition in which I have won State. For violin, I have been playing for 2 years, and have won lots of school awards and a regional award. What do you recommend? In the American Protégé International competition, preforming at Carnegie Hall is awesome! Do you have any ideas on how I can get a chance to implement all of these awesome opportunities and possibly participate in Carnegie Hall? :D

I play violin but I'm not the best. I haven't won a bunch of awards like national or international :( I really want to apply for a arts supplement but I'm not sure now.

if one is really really good at playing sports or music instruments, is it possible to get into Stanford with very low GPA( 2.0) and low SAT score( 50 percent). wonder if you know anyone who got into Stanford with very low GPA , but has extreme skills in either music or sports .

omg I also submitted an arts supplement to stanford!!!

Where are the music resumes?

Did he just wake up?

Hi which university will you be deciding to go to?
