<p>If I send in a letter detailing special circumstances, would NYU frown upon it considering it probably should've been included in the app the first time around?</p>
<p>I'm wondering about this as well. At an information session I went to, the speaker said if you had "overcome any hardships" to include it in your application. Where would you put that? In a note at the end (on the common app)? Or send an attachment through email or mail?</p>
<p>The best thing would've been to send a written letter with your letters of rec and high school transcript and what not. There was even a space to upload additional stuff on the application for mitigating circumstances. But now i would say call the office asap and find out because im sure they are alreading working on the applications.</p>
