<p>Along with some of my applications, I submitted an extra essay that I thought was my best, to Northwestern, Amherst, Cornell and Dartmouth. Do you think this'll be ok? I know it can only help because the essay was good, but do you think they'll frown on it? Or will they just read it. I put a little note mentioning that I felt it showed a part of me my other essays didn't. Anyone?</p>
<p>It depends on the college. Some accept extra materials, some don't. Often the application or web site says if they accept extra materials.</p>
<p>hmm, interesting. but does anyone know like specifically? like if they don't say anythign on their website?</p>
<p>At worst, they won't read it. At best, they'll read it and it will help you. I can't think of any reason that an extra essay would hurt you unless it's a lousy essay.</p>
