personal statement

<p>This may sound like a stupid question... but what does the Harvard Application mean when it's asking for the "Personal Statement"?</p>

<p>And also, at the end there's a checklist which includes "Additional Documents" Can you include something extra in your application like a short video, writing, pictures etc?</p>

<p>to answer the second question, yes you may... i think harvard's supplement has a section where you check off what you will be sending</p>

<p>The personal statement is just the Common App essay.</p>

<p>ok thanks!</p>

<p>also, how exactly do we send in our optional essay for the harvard supplement, if we are trying to do so online?</p>

<p>It explains exactly how to send the optional essay on the supplement. Just read the directions. There are several options, if I remember correctly.</p>
