<p>required: 2 recs, 1 long essay, 2 short essays</p>
<p>"completely optional:" something you've created essay, additional info essay, supplemental essay.</p>
<p>I read that most people admitted don't have the optional parts. How important are the optional parts?</p>
<p>The optional parts are optional. If done well, they’re like application extra credit. If done poorly, they will not do anything at all.</p>
<p>by will not do anything at all you mean it will hurt you right?</p>
<p>No, it won’t hurt. If you do a bad job, it will be like not having them at all.</p>
<p>Lol, would i get bonus happy karma points mollie if i elaborated and typed out of memory the square root of three poem? and if i mentioned my comparison of that poem LOL… i hope it makes the admissions laugh for a while.</p>
<p>
No, I mean it will not do anything at all. (I’m not terribly euphemistic on this forum, or in real life – if I think something will hurt somebody, I’m perfectly happy to say it.)</p>
<p>depends how well you would have written the optional parts.</p>
