Freshman Requirements & Process

Arts Supplement

Applicants with extraordinary talent in the fine or performing arts may submit supplementary materials for review. 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 would like students with a vested interest in the arts to 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. The form below is a purely optional supplement to the application process.

Instructions

Detailed instructions are outlined in the following form:

• The Arts Supplement (PDF)
  
• Though you will submit your Common Application and Stanford Supplement online, the Arts Supplement should be mailed in hard copy and in the same envelope to the Stanford Office of Undergraduate Admission.

Deadlines for the Arts Supplement

In order to have your Arts Supplement considered in the review of your application, you must submit the Common Application, the Stanford Supplement to the Common Application, and the application fee or fee waiver by the Arts Supplement deadline. Your submission will not be reviewed if we do not have an application on file for you by the submission deadline.

• October 15 for Restrictive Early Action Applicants
• December 1 for Regular Decision Applicants
• March 15 for Transfer Applicants
