<p>I’m applying to Northwestern, UChicago, USC, UPenn, Barnard, Columbia (Chicago/Penn/Columbia are major reaches, but, hey, I’ve got to try) and some others. Some schools give the option of attaching arts supplements and whatnot - I’m sure you’re aware. I didn’t look much into it because I didn’t think I had anything worthwhile to submit, but after I thought about it I realized that I’ve written some being awesome op-ed pieces for the school newspaper (about important topics - sensationalism, individualism, importance of feminism, and eradicating ‘rape culture’). The descriptions of OK supplemental materials that I’ve read from the schools above are kind of vague and say things like, “fine arts” and “creative writing”… Well, aren’t opinion pieces a sort of ‘creative writing’?</p>
<p>I’d just call up the schools, but most of them are closed until their deadlines (how convenient). </p>
<p>Any insight you have would be welcome!</p>
