I agree with laurenemma: Sending too much extra material is more likely to hurt you than not enough. </p>
<p>The admissions officers should already have a clear picture of both your achievements and your personality from your EA application, essays, etc. If they didn’t like what they saw, they would have rejected rather than deferred you in that round, and it’s now a question of balancing out the class. The only possible reasons to send more material are to pass along genuine news (e.g., a new achievement or award) and/or to say–if it’s true–that Yale is still your first choice.</p>
<p>I believe the advice on Yale’s website is true (see <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/supplementary.html[/url]):”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/supplementary.html):</a> “You should think carefully before submitting supplementary material. There are many successful applicants who submit only the items that we require. There are also cases in which mediocre submissions or too many extra items can work against a candidate.” Just because other people keep sending more material doesn’t mean they are helping their applications.</p>
