<p>Does anyone know if we are allowed to send in extra material, perhaps an extra essay that would definitely affect, and be useful in, the admission decision?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I sent 2 extra essays: one of 2 pages and one of 8 pages. They told me that they would add it to my file and ensure that the admission committee would review it.</p>
<p>Where does it say that additional essays are considered for admissions? And how does one decide on which essays to submit?</p>
<p>There’s no official mention of them being considered but here’s the reply I got when I sent my first 8 page essay on January 24:</p>

Good evening (my name)-
Thank you for your email and for reaching out on behalf of your NYU application. I have gone ahead and attached this (here she talked about the contents of the documents that I sent) to your application today so we can use it during our review.</p>
<p>Thanks again-</p>

<p>Here’s the reply I got when I sent my second 2 page essay on March 12:</p>

Good afternoon (my name)-
Thank you for your email. I will go ahead and make sure this information gets put into your application this afternoon for our admissions review- thank you so much for keeping us updated on your current activities and accomplishments.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>May I ask what type of essays you sent? Were they ones recycled from other colleges or were there any prescribed prompts? </p>
<p>The 2 page one was an update of my academic awards and extra curricular activities (what I did new since I completed the application). The 8 page one was about my major accomplishments in details.</p>
<p>Thank you very much everyone! I actually placed a call to them as well before you replied and they said you can send any additional info, but that he could not assure me that it would be reviewed, so I found that I bit odd. Hopefully they actually do consider it in the review process as Ghost95’s response indicated.</p>
<p>And btw I got accepted with a $40k+ grant (sat=1990)</p>
<p>@Ghost95 Congratulations! That is truly phenomenal! Which school by the way?</p>
<p>CAS :)</p>
<p>And I forgot to mention that I am an intl applicant which makes it even harder to get in. My instinct tells me that those additional letters weighed in a lot for me.</p>
<p>@Ghost95 Very awesome! 
</p>
<p>I am a transfer applicant, from the U.S., applying to Stern. I really hoping it works out, but it is obliviously really competitive; I think they only take around 25 a year into Stern as transfers.</p>

Do you suggest that I send another document providing greater detail into my current achievements (including updated ones) in addition to a letter to be submitted through the waitlist form? </p>
<p>Well I’m not an admission officer so I can’t say for sure but I’m sure that it wouldn’t hurt. @theworker</p>
