Are supplemental materials a big no-no?

<p>I wanted to send in one article that I wrote from our school paper while serving as EIC that directly relates to something im referring to and a point im making in my “why brown?” essay, and I’m very confident that it is written well…though it is somewhat long since it was a cover story. </p>

<p>It’s also being sent to international competitions…which our school has traditionally done very well in (we’re one of the top ranked papers in north america) so I really want to send it, but would AdComs be annoyed if i sent them extra material? </p>

<p>Also, it’s a print story not on our online edition just yet so should I scan it if it’s okay to send? what would be most convienient to the admissions officers?</p>

<p>No they will not be annoyed as long as it adds something constructive to your application that they cannot infer from elsewhere. I’ve spoken to a Brown admission officer about this and am submitting a writing supplement myself.</p>
