<p>So i just applied to KU regular admissions (no honors college or scholarships) and I was wondering if it will really make a huge difference if I send a resume and a personal statement? My stats are above the requirements for out-of-state applicants.</p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>KU admissions (like many large publics) is based on the numbers, they don’t look at essays and resumes. If you meet the requirements, you will be admitted! My S is also OOS and heard back very quickly (email first then snail mail packet) 2 years ago. I don’t know if you saw this, but if you send your test scores ahead and meet the requirements, you can be admitted within 48 hours. My S literally got his congrats email 36 hours after hitting the submit button. Good luck and let us know when you hear back. My S just loves KU!</p>

<p>I wouldn’t send one in. The chances of them reading it are fairly slim. I would, however, suggest doing the scholarship essay on the application. Even if you don’t need the scholarship, it looks good to have it. I got my GED, and I firmly believe part of the reason I was accepted was because of my essay. </p>

<p>In fact, do any essay they ask for, even if it isn’t required. But don’t send in your own resume and letter, because it won’t get read.</p>
