<p>Yes - but ifyou’re going to submit an art portfolio or whatever, you should say that you’ll major in it, because then you can IMMEDIATELY reduce the size of your competition. Instead of competing w/ everyone, you’re just competing with those planning on majoring in art. Many schools deny that the intended major doesn’t affect admissions, but I don’t think that’s exactly the case. If you say you want to major in Art, and yet you are clearly a sciences person, they’ll be like, w-t-f? and in fact be annoyed with you for putting that down. </p>
<p>BUT - if you have a history of doing well in the arts, etc, sending in a portfolio and indicating that as your major can actually be beneficial in the process.</p>
