I don't remember this portion. Basically if it doesn't apply to you, then you don't fill it out. But seriously, you need to listen to everyone on SDN and wait until your closer to application time (in three or four years) before you worry about all of this. It will change before you apply anyway. Chill out and enjoy college.

It's not a shopping list, kid! "Oh, I'd better get me some of those "artistic endeavors" they're talking about, so I have some on my application, too..." Not. 🙄

errr...yeah youll find that adcoms can see straight through the people who stack their apps with crap just cause it looks good.

 

[MedicineNutt]

does producing and distributing beats to artists considered artistic talent? 🙂

I listed my orchestra participation (in college) as an artictic endeavor

 

[anon-y-mouse]

I won a concerto competition and played it with a good orchestra... listed that. Giving concerts, other things like that are relevant. I sell (my) stock photography, listed that.

I love to draw. I can't say I'm a skilled artist, but I enjoy trying different things, and I certainly have a few good drawings. I have mentioned this during my pre-medical interview and they liked it.

Another great passion of mine is writing. I prefer non-fiction, so I have a blog, because that's all I have time for right now. It also allows me to keep in touch with friends, etc.

I also have a passion for piano, and signed up to take classes next year! I'M SO EXCITED!!!

So there, you can say I'm multifasceted. 😛

While I'm sure that lead guitarist in a death metal band is considered an artistic endeavor in some circles, I decided not to mention it.

Spoken Word Poetry. I never entered in any poetry slams but I've performed a few times and was well-received.

Haha, I'd throw it on there in some form, if you've got enough experience. My music would be only slightly less upsetting to adcoms, but I'll still mention something like "guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocals in the recording and production of ## albums" because it sounds cool... and just neglect to mention that at least one may be with a hardcore band...

 

[omgwtfbbq?]

I say, throw in the death metal lead guitar onto that application!

I listed that I was the college bronze level Samba champion of the greater southwest!!! ha! An interviewer made me show her dance moves!!!!

As far as less embarrassing artistic endeavors... I play the piano like they're going out of existence (i'm obsessive about it, i practice more than i did when i was a music major) and I'm a writer ... fiction (mostly) and really messed up l ittle cartoons (think, the cat with the reall big head... but with bunnies, and stunted ravens....they're odd).

 

[DrHuang]

i listed my short film credits

 

[drmota]

i worked on a documentary for the international beard and mustache competition. i didn't put it in my amcas but it came up at two of my interviews. i have no idea why or how

[red dot]

black and white photography, knitting, painting, swing dancing... those are some? i don't remember this on the amcas though. is it new?

 

[Oculus Sinistra]

hahahahaha

 

[kirexhana]
