Supplement Rec. Myth or Fact?

<p>Is it true that for Princeton applicants can send in many supplement recommendations letters? around like 3?</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification.</p>

<p>They might allow it, but I would (and in fact did) limit myself to one. Unless there is something really special that requires additional explanation, don't send in an overwhelming amount of extra information. It might turn off the adcoms.</p>

<p>Is there a specific form we should have the additional rec written on? Or is it like MIT(with a blank piece of paper with some identification information)?</p>

<p>I only sent in one other than teacher/counselor. It was from my boss</p>

<p>I had emailed them, they asked me to send in materials with their standard form which is for art- but mine was science project. Still, they asked me to use the same form.</p>

<p>Happen to have a link to the form?</p>

<p>go to the forms section on princeton's page.. it's under optional forms</p>

<p>so you just didn't check any medium? or did you write in science project or something like that? I'm submitting a CD with a few pictures / explanations from an independent study that I did last year on high speed photography (involving both photography and electrical engineering). I'll print out the form and send it with the CD and explanatory paper, but I'm not sure what box to check / whether I should check a box. What I'm submitting is pictures, but at the same time it wasn't really a visual arts project.</p>

<p>Keep in mind the old adage: The thicker the file, the thicker the applicant.</p>

<p>I know, but my guidance counselor encouraged me to send it in.</p>

<p>What Sherpa said. The only exceptions are invited academic/arts supplements (art, music, research, creative writing if you're good, etc.) and usually, one extra letter.</p>
