<p>I am the editor of a section of an award-winning school newspaper. The new edition just came out and looks exceptional. I was responsible for the assignments, layout and editing of my section. Should I send my section to my ED school? (I sent in my app two weeks ago.)</p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
<p>of course... I would advice you to send anything that you're proud of. At least that's what I'm doing;)</p>
<p>less is more, the less you submit, the more meaningful it is; unless it is really good (like really pro layout or really pro newspaper), yale advises that</p>
<p>Thanks. I haven't submitted anything besides the common app. I do think it looks pro for a h.s. paper. Should I email my admissions rep to get his opinion (he visited my school)?</p>
<p>My friend is also the editor of his paper (writes very good articles) but he did not submit his newspaper despite winning multiple awards at the state level. Unless your newspaper was under accredited, I would not risk undervaluing the prominence of your awards.</p>
<p>So...It seems I shouldn't submit. More to lose than gain?</p>
<p>Five years ago my son was in the same position as the OP--a managing editor with responsibility for the layout and content of several sections of a paper that regularly won national awards. In his ED application, he submitted two different issues of the paper, placing them in plastic sleeves, and stapling a cover sheet to each sleeve indicating the page numbers for the sections he had edited as well as the location of several articles he had written. The paper is very impressive to look at, and just listing his position on his application wouldn't have had nearly the same impact. I'm convinced his submission gained him admission to a school he would not otherwise have gotten into. I think this is the type of situation where "showing" is far better than "telling".</p>
