<p>for the last optional part of the application, does it look nice if i attach an extra essay?</p>
<p>It looks nice if it's a good essay that portrays some aspect of your character that perhaps isn't covered well in the rest of the application.</p>
<p>The optional section isn't automatic extra credit -- it doesn't help your case unless it adds something real to the application.</p>
<p>I attached an extra essay; I got in.
My friend didn't do any of the optional stuff on the app; he got in.</p>
<p>So yeah, just putting extra stuff doesn't neccesarily look nice - though the extra info about your fantabulous self could help!</p>
<p>haha thanks guys. ill attach it.</p>
