'a national history prize' - about common application additional information

Hey guys,

I have a question about the additional information section on commonapp.

I attended a national history prize and got my research essay recommended by the committee (1 first prize, 1 second prize, 3 recommended).

Since I would like to be a history major in my future university, I'm thinking whether I should attach a copy of my essay in the additional information section.

This is just a preliminary thought cuz I know it's a bit risky.

BTW, my essay is 4,000 word long.

If I do decide to attach it, do you guys think the AOs would pass it on to their history department for review?

What are the benefits + risks of doing so?

Thanks millions for 'rescuing' me!

xx

That sounds like a really long essay! Perhaps You should try posting this on College Confidential under the commonapp section!

What about sending summary of an essay or talking about the essay itself?

hey guys~

thanks for the replies.

My essay is about "the impacts of the Norman Conquest" - British history! cuz I'm in the UK, doing A levels. ;)

The essay itself is very self-evident in that I divided the essay into parts, analysing the impacts from different angles.

There are also intro + conclusion at either end of the essay.

In that way, I can make sure I don't overwhelm anybody with tedious arguments.

do you think I should still go for it?

P.S. Many Thanks to

I'll post this to CC ASAP!

If you think your personal essay doesn't fully explain you, you do can attach additional essay to the additional information section. Actually many students do.

However, usually admission officers are not really willing to read many essays.
