<p>I am adding an independent study to my schedule this semester and didnt have it on any apps. if you get rid of a class u have to tell them do you have to if u add one? I am doing organic chemistry and I applied as a chemistry major to all my schools. Is it worth the time/effort to inform them show continued interest, will it help/hurt at all?
thanks for your time</p>
<p>You don't have to tell them if you add a class. But it can only help you, especially since it's in your field of interest, and doing an independent study shows special motivation.</p>
<p>do u think i should include the proposal i had to put together, just to show what it would entail? or do you think thats not necessary just sweet and short, i wanted to let you know im doing this type letter?</p>
<p>I would keep it short and sweet, just because the admissions people have a ton of papers to read as is. Of course, let them know what exactly "independent study" entails, but keep it concise.</p>
