<p>My "optional" essay was VERY mediocre and I was hoping to be able to submit an additional essay. How do you feel about this? Is it worth it? Bothersome? Too late now? Redundant? Useless?</p>

<p>^ Listen to her. She knows what she is talking about more so than most random kids on CC (despite the recent debacle in the “calculate your chances” thread).</p>
<p>Agree. Submitting additional essays could make you look desperate.</p>
