Going Beyond the Requirements

As I stated in my previous thread, I am looking into pharmacy school - particularly USP or Rutgers. Now both of these school's are similar in the application process in that they do not REQURE letter of reccomendations, an essay, or even SAT II's.

So for those of you who have been accecpted into these schools or are currently enrolled, did you send in this "optional" information?

In a way, I can see how these "items" can give you an edge over certain individuals, but at the same time maybe the acceptance committee realizes that you are not confident in your application and so you are sending in other information in lieu of the aspects in which you lack. 🙄

Send in every single possible thing they say they accept.

Send in every single possible thing they say they accept.

They only WANT your SAT/ACT score and applicatation.

What did Admissions at Rutgers / USP say? While our opinions may or may not be correct - Wouldn't it be better / more accurate to get it straight from the school? It would add to your developing relationship with the school and you get your answer - Double bonus!

The above is what I stated earlier. Taken directly from application FAQ for Rutgers.
