umm... I wouldn't use the word "detrimental". But it would be nice to have things on the cover sheet? pretty much if you don't have anything on the cover sheet, you're kinda telling me that all you have is DAT and GPA to show the school...no extra curriculars (which im sure many students have done).
It's kinda like having a huge bow on a brand new Mercedes benz. The huge bow is a plus or an add on to the beautiful car.
are you picking up what im throwing down? haha Or am I just sounding like an idiot on this forum ^.^
