<p>How many of you submitted additional essay(s)? I sent my UChicago masterpiece</p>
<p>I sent in one additional essay, hm, wonder if it will make a difference</p>
<p>I was having the hardest time picking a Common App essay. After two months’ of getting opinions from friends and teachers and thinking it over, I got to a point where I thought I’d submit both. But when I asked people on this forum for an opinion on sending two, the only person who replied strongly advised against it. So I picked one, but two days before the deadline, I inadvertently (I say inadvertently because I had written it for another college’s supplement and realized it was suitable as a Common App essay) wrote one that was better than either of the original two, so I used that.</p>
<p>It’s actually addressed in the ‘Tips’ video made by Maria Laskaris and Colleen Wearn. They say that if it adds another dimension to your application, then it’s alright. They didn’t sound too enthusiastic about it, though, probably because they don’t want twice the number of essays to read…</p>
