[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is planning to include a URL to their online portfolio in either the activities section or as a bullet point in the more info section. If schools look at it, great, if not, no biggie. [/quote]

Admissions readers are likely told not to click URLs, so including them is kind of annoying. Application space is limited for a reason, and it's as if you think the rules are different for you. You'll know that a school is willing to look at the portfolio if they have information about how to submit them.[/quote]
Unless the common app says somewhere not to include URLs, how do applicants know this is a rule? Does this hold true for social media handles? My kid posts their art on Instagram and was thinking about including that, for example, based on advice they saw somewhere. DC is planning to ask their CCO about it after school starts, though.

They have about 5 minutes to read the whole application. Do you want them spending time clicking through to your kid's social media or focusing on the items they ask for?[/quote]
