Apply! Stanford Arts Supplement Instructions THE BASICS Applicants with extraordinary talent in the fine or performing arts—art, dance, drama and music—who intend to participate in and/or study the arts, may submit supplementary materials for review by our faculty. Applicants submitting an Arts Supplement are expected to have demonstrated artistic talent at a level beyond what is normally exhibited by high school students. While we expect that students with a vested interest in the arts will continue their participation at the collegiate level, an arts submission neither guarantees nor commits a student to participate in the arts at Stanford if admitted, nor does non-submission preclude such participation.
!
NOTE: Arts Supplements that are not received by the deadline or do not meet the requirements detailed below will not be reviewed or returned. All instructions contained within this form or on the Stanford admission website supersede those of the Common Application.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION Arts Supplements will be reviewed by faculty members in our Art, Dance, Theater & Performance Studies and Music departments. Each department has specific requirements for their supplements, so you must thoroughly review the relevant instructions. Applicants may submit up to TWO Arts Supplements; each supplement must be complete unto itself. In order to have your Arts Supplement considered in the review of your application, you must submit the First-Year or Transfer Common Application, the Stanford Supplement to the Common Application and your application fee or fee waiver request by the Arts Supplement deadline. Your submission will not be reviewed if we do not have your application on file by the arts submission deadline.

NOTE:
è Your Common Application Arts Supplement Form, CD/DVD/slides/prints/photos, arts instructor letter of recommendation and arts resume must be mailed to the Office of Undergraduate Admission in the same envelope.
