<p>I read the advice this morning that I should not send too many supplementary materials. Is it true? Oh ... I sent my resume, scientific abstracts and published news reports, making it like a 30-or-50-page small package. And now I am truly worried if it will work against me. Does it mean I am further from yale now? Any advice?</p>
<p>30-50 page package?</p>
<p>theres no way they're going to read that. it definitely wont work in your favour unless what you published was truly truly outstanding. =S</p>
<p>how does a resume and abstract take that much? does that mean you included 27-47 pages of news reports?!</p>
<p>Then what length would be advisable? OMG! I have two one-page abstracts, several three-page published news articles and three-page intros to a curriculum my friends and I editted and revised. Is there anything I can do to make the angry admissions officers feel better? ...</p>
<p>Don't waste time sweating it -- what's done is done. The majority of your stuff is sitting in a file somewhere. Your essential docs were scanned and the various readers can access your file anytime.</p>
<p>If you still are applying to others, don't repeat this mistake -- that's all. Make sure you read those schools' guidelines. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Thank you. But how much do you think is appropriate? Should I send nothing at all?</p>
<p>Your abstracts (VERY few pages) would have been fine. The newspaper articles and your published curric revisions were too much for sure.</p>
<p>Yes, you sent in too much information. Good luck, though</p>
<p>You definitely sent in too much, especially considering that Yale is strongly against sending in supp. materials unless they're necessary. Did you apply RD?</p>
