<p>1) On the Common App, am I obliged to list all of the SAT IIs I've take, or can I select the best three and omit the others?</p>
<p>2) How many supplemental recommendations can one submit?</p>
<p>3) What is the standard (if any) resume format? </p>
<p>4) I'm having trouble fitting descriptions of my extracurricular activities in the common app. Should I use the "Additional Information" box or should I elaborate in the resume? </p>
<p>Thanks In Advance</p>
<p>I think I can address some of your questions based on what I know.</p>
<p>1) You're not necessarily required to list all of them, but the colleges you send the common application to will see all of your SAT II test scores when they receive the report from collegeboard, so it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>2) This is probably going to vary by school. At Harvard as far as I know, the general rule of thumb is use good common sense. Don't send them like 50 supplemental recs, just choose a sufficient number that's actually going to be helpful.</p>
<p>3) I'm not sure there's a "standard" per se, but just make sure you include the most pertinent information. You can search for templates very easily online.</p>
<p>4) Either sounds fine to me.</p>
<p>I have a couple questions too (they might be really stupid but its just to make completely sure):
1) When your teacher writes a rec for you do the directly send it to harvard? or do you send all the stuff together?</p>
<p>2) If you apply EA, does that mean you don't show a mid-year report??</p>
<p>thanks (ps i know these are stupid questions!)</p>
<p>Recs are sent by the writer to the schools in most cases. The counselor may collect the recs to submit with the app in some cases. Ask your counselor. </p>
<p>EA acceptances are conditional (as are all acceptances) on continuing a reasonable level of academic performance. Your counselor will have to submit a mid-year report, and while rescending an acceptance is uncommon, it does happen. More likely, if the school has any doubts, you will be deferred.</p>
<p>Supplemental recs are discouraged unless they add a truly unique dimension that is not covered elsewhere. In other words, don't submit additional teacher recs as that area is covered. If you raised $10K for a non-profit, have the director write a rec covering that aspect.</p>
<p>thanks a ton</p>
<p>From your post bandit, I just realized that I will probably be either rejected or accepted, not deferred since I've already graduated from HS and won't really have any future grades for them to see. Does that sound likely?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. Harvard rejects very few from the EA round, preferring the 'kind deferral'. However, even if deferred, Harvard takes very few from the deferred stack.</p>
