<p>Ok, I have a lot of stuff that I want to send to colleges...extra stuff. I really do not want to overload them, but at the same time I don't want to ever say to myself "well, I wish I had sent such and such". Here are a list of things that I could possibly send btw these are to top schools like harvard yale princeton upenn....</p>
<p>-Additional essay if it takes it</p>
<p>-an additional recommendation from my mentor from this summer research program</p>
<p>-A resume of my activities and awards</p>
<p>I have a patent pending invention (from that internship), and from that I could send
-a copy of the official patent,
-a computer designed picture,
-a newspaper article all about my design/experience, it's really nice</p>
<p>BTW my long essay is all about that internship so I'm really playing that up as a possible hook, that's why I'm thinking about sending all of that. </p>
<p>Now the way I see it, they only have to look at what they want, however the way I see it really doesn't matter. What do you suggest are the most important things to send? Should I send it all? Will it take away from my application to overload them?</p>
<p>Any comments are greatly appreciated.</p>
