<p>What if you've won a short story competition? Or published multiple articles in a community (not school) newspaper? Should you send copies to the colleges? Will they read them?</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to send one, but I wouldn’t inundate them will all of the pieces that either won a competition or was published, they don’t want to receive a CW portfolio. As with ALL supplements, I’d only recommend sending something that is of excellent quality, proficient is not good enough if you are asking an AO to spend extra time on your application.</p>
