<p>Ok well my application is complete and everything but I was just wondering, do you think if I send in an essay I just got back from my teacher to the schools I'm applying to right now, the essay will be considered part of the application?</p>
<p>apparently what I wrote was pretty good and I just thought it might help my application. So do you think admissions officers would even consider reading something supplementary that is handed in this late?</p>
<p>I don't think it will hurt you to send it in. If it won't be considered, there's probably someone on staff who will discard it. I'm not picturing someone running in to the entire committee, waving your essay, exclaiming in a tone of outrage, "Can you believe the nerve of Beefcake? Sending this in at this late stage? Someone take his application from the 'accept' pile and stamp it with 'rejected' using the bright red ink!"</p>
<p>Then again, unless it's being submitted for a Pulitzer, I'm not sure it's going to make anyone shift your application from a wait list or rejection pile into the acceptance pile. (Please suspend disbelief here and imagine that they've got all the applications in three piles. Work with me....)</p>
<p>So, what they hey? Send it in...if only because you won't wonder later on if things might have been different if you had sent it in.</p>
<p>I think they didn't even read mine!!!!! :(</p>
<p>Basic advice: keep a copy of everything. Make photocopies of each application, just in case it doesn't arrive, or gets misplaced.</p>
<p>Ugh
Oops.
too late.
But good advice =[</p>
<p>I agree with lalalove.</p>
