<p>Two questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>In the "Additional Information" section, could I put in a resume of my musical achievements? Most of my musical doings are outside of school, but they only give room for three, and I have near a dozen... would admissions officers frown upon sending in an extra resume in a specific area?</p></li>
<li><p>I keep getting conflicting opinions about this. Would sending in an extra letter of recommendation hurt my chances or help? It would be from a teacher I had freshman year but I still work with in a club. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks</p>

<li><p>Definitely, that is what the addt. info section is for, am I right?</p></li>
<li><p>I was speaking with a Columbia Admissions Officer and they said that if you attached too many, they just won’t read the rest. She didn’t name an exact number, but I’d hesitate.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Usually the additional letter of rec comes from someone outside of your school (to provide insight that can’t be gianed elsewhere): e.g. employer, coach, tutor, adviser, etc.</p>
