<p>can any kind of supplemental documents (things like self-recommendation laters or writing that reveals more of ur personality) be included in college applications? or will the adcoms see them as excessive?</p>
<p>one or two is okay. more than that is suicidal. and what's "self-recommendation laters"? i hope it's not letters you wrote recommending yourself. that's called an essay.</p>
<p>well..its actually something like that. our school makes all the seniors write one.. and i actually wanted to use it somewhere so i just put it as a supplement.. anyways, i guess i made a bad choice then. i included 5 things (including a complete resume), but they are all in 3 pages. does this really hurt my chances..?</p>
<p>You should keep things simple.</p>
<p>my advice is not to use those "self-recommending" letters. as for your resume, 3 pages is a tad bit too long. i don't use resumes; i write all my extra activity in an activity list, one page maximum.</p>
