Can I submit an arts portfolio, even if I am not planning to major in that area? Can I include a non-required abstract, portfolio, or essay?

Portfolios are not recommended or required outside of students applying to the Digital Media and Design program or transfer applicants to Architecture. Most students who are admitted to Penn do not submit supplemental materials. All of the information that we feel is crucial in making an admission decision is included within our required documents. If you feel there is information essential to your application which was not able to be captured within the required documents, please visit our Supplementary Materials page learn more.
