<p>UHhmmmmmmmm, it said it was not a required piece on the online app. So I just thought it as an optional and didn’t answer. Do you think it will hurt me?
If it does… Is there any way I can send it to princeton? Will they still see it?</p>
<p>haha… I turned mine in at 1:20am JAN 2…
But the server thing was down till 1:10am for me…
DO YOU THINK I’LL BE FINE???</p>
<p>Anyway, the boat has left the dock. Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>It depends on what you did the past 2 summers. They want to see motivated kids that do something constuctive/distinctive/wonderful with their free time. I think the kids who did amazing things during the summer (NASA program, TASP, arts programs,volunteer work, paid work, summer AP class, etc) and wrote about it definitely have an edge, in fact, sometimes it can be a hook. If I were you (and if you are up to it) I would still send one in separately with a note to please attach it to your app (with your identifying SSN, etc). Don’t freak if you didn’t have the opportunity to do something amazing over the summer. I am on a scholarship committee that reads applications and I have seen kids write amazingly creative things about how they didn’t have the opportunity to do such and such, but they learned such and such in a profound way. If your other stats are strong, it might be OK not to send one, but if you’re not sure, sending one can only help the adcom know more wonderful things about you.</p>
