<p>I have been writing a short story for fun and it is at about 60 pages now. For an essay i was thinking about writing about this story, would it be pointless to attach a copy of the paper as a supplement since they would never read it all?</p>
<p>Don’t send it. Writing about the story is fine, but if you expect that admission officers are going to read a 60 page supplement, you’re wrong.</p>
<p>Not to mention that 60-pages is a long short story. :)</p>
<p>No, maybe an excerpt.</p>
<p>Okay, I won’t send it. The story was full of cliched themes anyway.</p>
<p>i tink if you did send it, if would probably be an automatic rejection at one of the elite schools.</p>
<p>Yeah: BAD idea. If you read any application book (Michele Hernandez type books) they will say the same thing. Just don’t.</p>
<p>If you’re really proud of it, ask an English dept. professor if they’d like to see it. If they like it, you never know what might happen.</p>
<p>ok i wont send it thanks</p>
<p>Send the first few pages, but no more than that.</p>
<p>Or send the 2-3 most pivotal pages.</p>
<p>Echoing what others said… no. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Don’t send any part if it’s bad.</p>
<p>^haha okay i said i wouldnt</p>
