<p>hey i'm applying for RD columbia fu. i was wondering if columbia likes to review optional stuff like a dance video or an optional reference letter. the website strongly discouraged but i really think that sending them will be advantageous.
please help me out.
they don't even have a form for optional rec (princeton does) also, u think jhu will like beign sent these extras? n cooper union. sry to bombard u with these qs.
can u sense my anxiety? haha</p>
<p>By all means send in a video or an extra reference. If they don't want to look at it they won't. Many kids who have been accepted have sent in additional info. If you feel that it's important in letting the admissions committee know who you are and where your talents lie, go for it. Good luck.</p>
<p>i'd say resist the temptation as much as you possibly can. your talents will show (if you let them) through other parts of your app.</p>
