<p>Can I submit additional materials with my application? Does it help to send in writing samples, poetry, research papers, high school projects, original computer programs, or any other special work Ive done while in high school?</p>
<p>We ask that you not submit résumés or additional materials beyond what we specifically request.</p>
<p>Can I submit additional letters of recommendation?</p>
<p>Yes, you may submit one additional letter of recommendation if you have another person, not a teacher or counselor, who knows you well and will provide us with information about you that your other recommenders will not. We ask that you instruct your additional recommender to place your full name–as listed on your application, your birth date and your current high school at the top of the recommendation letter. </p>

<p>I think it’s acceptable to send application updates (not additional “materials”) about new awards you’ve won since applying.</p>
