<p>does submitting an additional essay helps in the application? how would the adcom look at it if they actually read it?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>too much supplemental stuff won't get read. Like don't send in 10 20-page research papers. I personally think that no more than one essay should be a supplement. And it must show a different side to you not portrayed in the other essays or it's pretty moot</p>
