<p>So, I sent in a cd of maybe 4 songs that I sang, and I was wondering if that had much of an effect on your admissions? Or, it is jut like 'oh look! they have intrest! <em>check</em>"</p>
<p>My Son was ED last year and submitted a CD. We were told it gets forwarded to the correct dept. for review (music I presume). Not really sure if it impacted on his acceptance but he did receive a letter from the head of the vocal program asking him to come down to discuss possible vocal opportunities. He is happily involved in several things as a freshman,so he is enjoying what is available but did it help in the decision for acceptance? Honestly, I can't answer that but I doubt it hurt. I was told that someone better be good at whatever it is (photography, poetry, instrument) or it could hurt their chances but again, not sure if this is correct.</p>
<p>Sure, if they are meaningful. I sent in a ceramics portfolio, a very impressive journal I made after a serious science internship, and some appendicies to the application in general explaining my ec's further (some were kind of ambiguous in importance). </p>
<p>Don't send in anything repetitive, like a resume.</p>
<p>I disagree, I sent in a resume and I think that was instrumental in my acceptance.</p>
<p>While I think that a resume that is purely repetitive won't help you, a resume that portrays you more in depth than the application does really makes a huge difference.</p>
<p>right -- what i'm saying is dont' send in a run of hte mill surface resume. If you send in something similar to a resume that clarifies things, that's different. Thats kind of like what i did, sending in appendicies about things.</p>
<p>what if i send in a paper that i wrote that is about 20 pages long about prefrontal cortical thickness in schizophernics? would that help?</p>
<p>lol collegebond im pretty sure that they wouldnt bother to read all that and might even get ****ed off. unless of course the observations u made in those 20 pages are all based on your own individual research, then maybe you can shorten it and send it. if not, then don't bother.</p>
<p>they would be based on my research. im thinking about maybe just sending in an abstract of my paper which woould be about a page or 2.</p>
