Submitting supplemental materials?

<p>On the app it says you can submit supplemental materials, but it says to limit it to 2 pages 8.5 x 11. I was planning on sending in my 60 page thesis paper on Andrew Carnegie that I did last year for AP US History because I feel it shows I can handle college work. I also wanted to send in some graphics/promotions work that I’ve designed for school, my job, and community efforts (I do graphic/web design and was thinking it could translate well into a Marketing major at Wharton).</p>

<p>So should I not send anything at all?</p>

<p>all ur supplemental materials have to fit into a folder...the 60 page paper prob wont make it to the folder so why bother...if you think the paper you wrote shows a lot about you...ask ur history teacher for a rec and she/he will refer to ur paper in the rec</p>

<p>I heard they didn't like a lot of supp material.
Unless it's really really really important.
So why don't you write an abstract of your thesis.</p>

<p>don't send the paper. Let your grades, test scores, and teacher recommendations show how you can handle college work.</p>

<p>so every applicant has a folder which they put all your rec and school report in! It's one of those thin folder so you don't want anything that is too thick...if it's too thick they won't put in it...and prob dont even make to the review process. </p>

<p>I heard this from one of the admission office(i dont remember if it's penn) but I guess it works for all of them..</p>
