<p>Are applicants encouraged to attach a resume to their application? What about a third supplemental recommendation from someone who doesn't teach the student?</p>
<p>This isn't exactly an ED-specific question, but I'm still relatively confused on how we go about teacher recommendations. I remember seeing the complete application last year and I did notice a section for a teacher evaluation sheet (and maybe a request for a recommendation letter too, but I'm not quite sure) that isn't present in this year's application. Does anyone know what exactly an applicant is supposed to do with regards to this?</p>
<p>My next question: For ED CAS, I want to talk to an engineering professor about a research report that I did about a more efficient means of water purification. Should I attach the report under additional documents? It's not publishable material, yet, and I don't want to submit it anywhere before I know 100% what I'm doing.</p>
<p>@Pyelot: Use the common app, put in the teachers email address, it gives them directions to upload it. I don't think you're supposed to see the recs before.</p>
<p>@lostinitall: From what I have heard, college preview days, seminars, Exploring College Options, resumes are not expected, because they are sort of repetitive to the application itself. However, it is not uncommon for a GC to attach it to their letter of recommendation. </p>
<p>As for the third supplement, I am currently mailing one from my former employer, a PhD from a local university. I'm just going to mail it in with my counselor recommendation as an additional document. Basically, it shows how I can adapt to anything he needed me to do. While I worked for him, I did everything from register the firm for clinical trials, to make cabinets, to interview patients, to fix computers. I was an all-around helper, and he said I was the best assistant he has ever had, and he has had 4 a year, usually college students, and I am not a college student. My point is that it cannot be described in my application, nor in my essays. One of my teacher recs touches upon those qualities, however, the third letter would be much more effective. </p>
<p>@Catalysis: I'm fairly certain the only out is financial. If you can prove that you can't pay. However, they meet 100% of need, so that would be difficult.</p>
<p>@ ivy24 - You can apply EA elsewhere, but you cannot apply to a restrictive (or single-choice) EA school, which crosses Stanford and Yale off the charts. MIT would work out fine.</p>
<p>@ dbsklove - It is REQUIRED for you to be proficient in another language. I don't know exactly how to demonstrate that besides the use of an SATII or possibly an AP test, but you should be fine rushing in a score from November. Maybe make a note about that though. You're also expected to continue studying the language you chose to prove proficiency in once you get to Penn.</p>
<p>@ YdocZ - I read somewhere... I don't remember where, might've been the Penn site, but the school recommended ED applicants to have their applications in by October 15 to be given a VERY GOOD chance of getting an interview. Everyone is eligible of course as long as their applications are in on time, but Penn says it'll be much harder to reserve one.</p>
<p>question: is an interview mandatory at penn? and, am i ONLY gonna be able to reserve an interview AFTER i submit my app to penn?</p>
<p>No, interview is not mandatory.</p>
