Andover has this thing where you submit a graded writing sample from school. Well, what happened was I submitted an essay thinking it was good, but then I wrote something else in school and thought it was better (and I got a higher grade on it). I put the better one in an additional document they provide. Will the admissions team read both of them and consider them equally, or will they consider the graded writing sample more?
Is the additional document section they provided for essays? If not, replace the graded writing essay sample with the better one.
I can’t I submitted it 
the additional document section is not for essays. It doesn’t have a specific purpose.
Ouch. The additional document isn’t used to send essays. I wouldn’t send it but you should ask the admissions office. I know only asked for one essay and are expecting to receive only one.
I will ask them
Thank you!
Also: The graded essay is really to determine how generous or stingy your teachers are in handing out “A” grades.
They have plenty of other writing samples from you…
Ohhh I see. I’m actually really proud of the article I submitted to the optional document slot. Will they factor it?
Of course they will… I’m just explaining why they wanted a writing sample that was graded
Oh okay I see
