Extra papers you send to college to elaborate on activities?

<p>I applied to Brandeis University but I never sent in a paper telling the admissions office about some activities I have participated in and some awards I have recieved. On the application itself I have shown that I simply am:</p>

<ul>
<li>Editor-in-Chief of the School Newspaper (9-12)</li>
<li>Captain of Basketball Team (9-12)</li>
<li>President of National Honor Society (11-12)</li>
<li>Volunteer Tutor (12)</li>
</ul>

<p>There was no available section to elaborate or add any other additional information. They do not know that I:</p>

<ul>
<li>Traveled to Israel for a 10 day volunteer mission to help the needy</li>
<li>Went on a 3 day leadership conference</li>
<li>Participated in volunteer work with the disabled</li>
<li>AND any further info on the activiteies mentioned above, ex: how in 9th grade I was a writer for the paper, in 10th I was a section editor, in 11th I was assistant editor-in-chief, and finally in 12th became editor-in-chief</li>
</ul>

<p>They also do not know that I have recieved the following awards:

  • NY State Education Department Scholarship for Academic Excellence
  • President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence
  • BJE Science Olympiad Medalist: Chemistry – 3rd place
  • Listed in Who’s Who of Science Students
  • Subject Awards
    9th Grade: Award for Academic Excellence in Judaic Law
    10th Grade: Awards for Academic Excellence in Spanish and English
    11th Grade: Awards for Academic Excellence in English, Spanish, Math, Judaic Law</p>

<p>Do you think what they know about me from my application is enough, or should I bother mailing them a paper explaining the activities and including the information I have not told them? Is it too late, have they begun to review the applications? I am nervous it could ruin my chance, but I don’t know if it is necessary to do this or if the 4 activities listed are adequate. </p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion.</p>
