<p>does princeton scan all mailed admissions materials (such as teacher/optional recommendation, the "what else forms") into a computer, and then have the admissions committee view them by computer? also, does anyone know if harvard/yale do this? Just curious, thanks!</p>
<p>thats an interesting question! do you think it would make any sort of difference in their decisions and review though?</p>
<p>no i doubt it haha. but i was wondering because some of my teachers did weird envelope formatting things, and a few weren't labeled neatly and stuff like that. not super important, but still, does anyone know?</p>
<p>I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but you shouldn't worry about it. Whether they scan everything or not, they're rather meticulous in making sure your file is complete.</p>
<p>how much should we send for "what else" and supplementary materials?</p>
<p>I emailed the admissions office and asked whether it would be ok if I send thirty sheets of supplementary materials, and the person who answered my phone was like, "Feel free to attach it to your 'what else' form!"</p>
<p>Is it true? The more you send, the merrier?</p>
<p>Yes, they do.</p>
<p>I know this because some schools ask you to print in blue ink/print their apps in blue ink so when they are scanned the blue shows up against the black of the application.</p>
<p>more the merrier? absolutely not!
Don't send them any crap.
I know a kid who sent in a bunch of lit magazines that he was published in, the ADCOMs called the school counselor basically asking them why their student just sent them a box full of crap. Needless to say, despite being extremely accomplished, he was rejected at that school</p>
<p>30 pages is a great way to get rejected.</p>
