<p>So i went to an info session recently, and i may have misinterpreted the woman, but she said in the optional submission you could do whatever you wanted with an 8x11 piece of paper and send that in. she said some people did oragami and made things, however, i always had the impression on the supplement that the option submission was just writing. however, maybe they're just saying to do 500 words or less if you choose to write something? some clarification would be nice! i want to make sure i understand correctly</p>
<p>it definitely does NOT have to be just writing (or writing at all)</p>
<p>Just don't do a collage, I remember the admissions officers complaining about all the collages that they got.</p>
