If you are an accomplished musician, dancer, thespian, film/video director, screenwriter, visual artist or any other form of performance artist, you have likely spent countless hours honing your skills and possibly plan to continue your art in some capacity in college. While we do not focus on conservatory admissions, we have a lot of experience helping highlight your skills when applying to highly selective colleges.
There are many critical considerations in highlighting your artistic capabilities in your application, including:
- Selecting works that best highlight your skills
- Mapping out a process to document your skills with video recordings, audio recordings, or images for arts supplements that balance your preparation time with the differing requirements of various colleges’ supplements
- Creating artist resume(s)
- Obtaining the most useful art-related recommendation letters
- How much emphasis to place on arts areas in your personal statement and supplementary essays
- How to manage activity lists to reflect your art while balancing other actitivies
- Deciding if and how to provide links showcasing additional information about your art
The additional considerations for music, performing, and visual arts students are layered onto the additional services we provide for those in Grades 8-10 and Grades 11-12.
