<p>I know that on their site they said that they don't read any additional material..... so if I sent in an essay about a robot I built that I think really showcases my passion for engineering, will they just chuck it without even reading it?</p>
<p>Thanks =)</p>
<p>Why would you risk annoying anyone dealing with your file? Their rules are quite explicit and you want to blatantly disregard it — all this for the slimmest of potential boosts by the content of your essay — I highly advise against it. But it’s your file…</p>
<p>I agree with T26E4. You hear over and over from these schools to give them what they want, and not a bunch of other stuff or extra stuff.</p>
<p>You should write that in one of their essays. Dear Roomate or intellectual vitality essays would work.</p>
<p>If it specifically says not to do something, don’t do it.</p>
<p>well… I already did it at the same time I submitted my app… and THEN read the website (I know… stupid me) and went OH NO! I hope they don’t get too mad…</p>
