Extra essay

[quantumbyte]

<p>Is there a way to send an extra essay to supplement the rest of the application?</p>

<p>There isn’t room on the Common App or Yale’s Supplemental App for anything but the required essays. An extra essay would fall under the Supplemental Materials category and I would take Yale’s advice to heart:[Supplementary</a> Materials | Yale College Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.yale.edu/supplementary]Supplementary”>http://admissions.yale.edu/supplementary)</p>

<p>

You should think carefully before submitting supplementary materials with your Yale College application. There are cases in which too many submissions, or submissions that do not reflect a high level of talent, can actually work against a candidate.</p>

<p>We generally do not encourage you to submit additional letters of recommendation, resumes, or personal essays; these are less likely to shed helpful new light on your application.

<p>Color inside the lines, quant. You shouldn’t expect extra considerations.You’re not more special than the other 29K who are applying. Be content. Good luck</p>

<p>^Agree, while an extra LOR is included in the supplementary materials that Y gives instructions for, essays are not. That’s because they think you’ve been given ample opportunity to express yourself in your CA and Y Supplement essays.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. Thanks a lot, gibby for proving all the required details. Thank you, entomom, for letting me know what the AOs would think of the additional essay.</p>
