<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I just want to clarify.</p>
<p>Does Stanford U prefer all my additional info in the small yellow with the character limit provided or does it prefer the attachment option where I attach a doc with my list of activities?</p>
<p>I am asking since the latter option of attaching is much more organized but I heard from some1 that Standford actually discourages doing that.</p>
<p>Please enlighten me.</p>

<p>I haven’t heard anyone mention a preference for the attachment option vs the character box, so I imagine which ever you want to do is fine.</p>
<p>What they do discourage is sending in some sort of resume type thing (which a list of activities sounds like an abbreviated version of). So really I would pick your most important activities and include/write about them in the appropriate parts of the application. no one is going to be impressed with a laundry list of things you committed 0.5% of your extracurricular time to.</p>
<p>they prefer that you do neither</p>
<p>sorry to bring up this topic again, but will it hurt my application if i attach an additional info document?</p>
<p>when an admissions came to our school, she repetitively said that we shouldn’t attach anything extra; however, using the additional info character box should be fine…she said to just stick to the spaces provided on the common app</p>
<p>hey Dana, </p>
<p>Thats what I heard too. That putting it in the character box is better than attaching an entire document.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info</p>
