<p>DO NOT send resume!!! the info on resume is not unusual or extenuating at all! Don't do it!</p>

<p>i dont mean sent resume in that unusual circumstance section...but through mail overall...y would stanford not like it when many college dont mind it.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the application specifically says not to use the extenuating circumstances option to send in a resume.</p>

<p>actually I sent a science supplement, but w/e, if thats why I get rejected then fine. If they just wanna throw it away thats fine too, i dont think it should be held against me.</p>

<p>I think they told us it can only help you....or was that my friend who goes there. I'm not sure but I think if you send extra stuff like science, it can help you if they like it, but they won't hate you if they don't...i hope?</p>

<p>cool, thats exactly what I was hoping for.</p>

<p>according to the info session we attended 3 years ago, they just discard all the extra stuff without reading it.</p>

14
