<p>How many of you wrote a supplement for Harvard?</p>
<p>Please reply below whether you wrote a supplement or not </p>
<p>I wrote a supplement</p>
<p>I did the book list. Reading about what others have done, however, makes me wish that I would have done something more intricate.</p>
<p>I may be applying RD, and I have already completed the writing supplement. I wrote about an inspirational figure in my life.</p>
<p>I did!</p>
<p>I did. IMO it’s only useful if you can show a completely different facet of your life/personality from the common app essay.</p>
<p>Me!</p>
<p>I did</p>
<p>I didn’t (for early action), mainly b/c I thought my research paper would show my passion more than a supplement on research. Now that I think about it, I should’ve wrote about my passion for research and submitted my paper 
</p>
<p>doesn’t your research paper count as supplement?</p>
<p>It’s not a “Writing supplement,” as in one over the topics they gave us (one that shows personality). I just submitted it as an additional academic supplement through the portal</p>
<p>Well, if this helps you reduce your worry, one of the topics is an intellectual challenge, and i know someone who got in last year who used his research paper as his supplement to show the intellectual challenge. </p>
