Additional Essay in addition to the optional essay?

<p>:) ..............</p>

<p>LOL...i sent an additional essay too..soo they got 3 essays for me all together..</p>

<p>i just called-- they said it was perfectly fine.</p>

<p>I sent in my essay, plus another 680 word essay adding to the diversity i would contribute to the school (blah blah blah, all about selling yourself, I'm so sick of saying the same thing over and over...anyways! haha), and then sent in a short story for supplementary materials. I don't know about sending so much in. Being concise is good if you can portray yourself, but sending in more would not hurt that much either. Again, it IS Harvard; they like overachievers. :P</p>

<p>Will Harvard accept an alternate coomon app essay, i now realize, i really screwed up mining reducing it to nearly 50% of original length....was supposed to be filled with humour...now looks more like a disjointed rambling....i sent it to Yale, Princeton as well...What should i do?</p>

<p>resend it and attach a letter saying to use the newer essay</p>
