Optional additional essay?

<p>Do a lot of people do this and is it an advantage? I am planning to write about my past two summers. Also, would it be okay to send two short paragraphs on two different topics (a meaningful academic experience and my summers) and a list of books I have read, or is this overload that they would get annoyed at reading?</p>

<p>Writing about your past two summers would probably be alright, but I think sending a list of books you have read is kind of overkill.</p>

<p>^^okay cool. I just wasn’t sure because one of the suggestions that it lists on the supplement is “a list of books you have read in the past 12 months.”</p>
