Annoying the Admissions Committee

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I was just wondering if sending letter, recs, awards, etc would actually result in a negative outcome. The schools probably pay admins overtime to look over applications. To flood their offices again with this stuff would be overwhelming, wouldn't it? Should we call schools and ask if they want more information (chances are they'll say no) or should we not care and send stuff anyway? Does the admissions committee even read the extra information?</p>

<p>PS In case you're wondering, this is basically my confused emotion as a waitlisted applicant XD</p>

<p>Calling would probably be a good idea. Ask exactly what would give them a better picture of you to help in your chances.</p>

<p>I agree. It is in your interest to call each school and ask for their instruction or advice.</p>

<p>It will give you the best chance of acceptance. It shows you care about the school and are willing to do what they want to be accepted.</p>
