<p>@alyzahq my other top choices are Colgate, Penn, Washington & Lee, and Middlebury 
</p>
<p>@tblegend97 maybe it’s different for ILR but it was either Penn or Harvard that reccomended not sending in extra materials. They said something along the lines of by sending in extra materials you’ll be compared to everyone else who also sent in extra information so it better be darn good.</p>
<p>Not sure if supplemental materials were welcomed for cas? Top 10 ec’s seemed pretty solid so didn’t occur to me to forward my resume on top of common app…</p>
<p>@tblegend97 Dayum, I applied ILR and I did not do any of that lmao</p>
<p>@cornell19 Penn loved my sister’s extra stuff and she got in so i dunno haha</p>
<p>Im only sure about ILR, and one of the admissions officers said they would be happy to review and consider it all soo</p>
<p>@alyzahq I have already applied to UChicago EA (expecting a rejection), Northeastern EA, and UC Berkeley. I still have applications to finish for Rice, Hopkins, BC, BU, NYU, Oklahoma (ugh!!!), Ohio State (ugh), UMich (ugh), and Ole Miss (ugh as well). See a trend? Go Longhorns!!! Hopefully I’ll end up somewhere lol. (I already have guarantee acceptance to UT)</p>
<p>Am I the only one who didn’t use 10 ECs… Tbh 10 extra curriculars isn’t possible with the amount of time I devote to each one. I only used 7</p>
<p>@airspirit I only sent it in because it was actually SUPER important to my application, but common app didn’t leave me enough room to (briefly) describe my roles within the marketing and promoting of businesses and working internationally.</p>
<p>“You should think carefully before submitting supplementary materials with your Yale College application. Most successful applicants submit only the items that we require. There are cases in which too many submissions, or submissions that do not reflect a high level of talent, can actually work against a candidate. Because the Admissions Committee gives greatest weight to the documents required of all applicants, we recommend that you focus your energy primarily on those elements of the application.”
-From Yale’s website</p>
<p>Yeah. I feel like I was advised not to unless your an art major candidate and your submitting a art portfolio or a prospective music major and your sending samples of your music talent. That sort of thing. Idk. </p>
<p>@cornell19 I didn’t use the 10 ECs either, somewhere more around your amount. I think they’d rather see ECs that you pour your heart into than spreading yourself thin.</p>
<p>@Cornell19 You have only 7 extracurriculars? hmmm let me put that into my calculator. Results say that your odds are 7.17492 % of acceptance</p>
<p>Ah well can’t exactly do anything about it. My college advisor recommended I do send it in, and admissions seemed to think it was fine so we’ll just have to see I guess?</p>
<p><a href=“I got rejected! - YouTube”>I got rejected! - YouTube; I liked this video :P. It’s positive</p>
<p>I don’t understand how people send the home baked food haha. It has to be shipped and everything, if I was an admissions officers I wouldn’t eat it haha. On that not I’m going to go drive to the post office and send them 20 $20 starbucks gift cards, after all who doesn’t love Starbs. Kidding its probably too late for that now haha</p>
<p>@toolboy you should patent that calculator, it is going to make a fortune. Build a website that chances people for a buck each. You’d easily make 1k every week by advertising on CC lol.</p>
<p>@acceptmeed I love that video!</p>
<p>@ToolBoy can you plug minority in to that calculator? What do I come out to be now lolol</p>
<p>Easy bank for being a Tool Boy, I’ll take it and @Cornell19 it’s an error - system overflow</p>
