Supplemental Materials, Essays...

<p>On most applications, they stress putting all the information on the application itself and try NOT to submit any supplemental materials.</p>

<p>For example, on the activity part of the application, I feel there isn't enough room and I want to submit an additional resume.
However, on most of the applications, they try to discourage adding additional papers.
The same deal with the essays. After doing the required ones, I want to submit simply ONE additional essay to express my passion in business. However, I'm afraid by adding to much stuff, it would upset the admission counselor.</p>

<p>Because I understand that these admission counselors have to go through hundreds and hundreds of applications and they won't have too much time to spend on one application.</p>

<p>So do you think putting additional materials will hurt or help chances?</p>

<p>I don't know about additional essays, but I know at my HS we're required to send an activities resume with all our apps, and it seems to work well enough</p>
