学校补充材料

虽然美国常春藤等顶尖名校对于托福、SAT等考试有着近乎满分的要求，但实际上， 去美国留学不会仅依据这些数字成绩决定录取与否，他们更注重学生的综合素质，学生的潜在能力或已经具有的研究能力虽然美国常春藤等顶尖名校对于托福、SAT等考试有着近乎满分的要求，但实际上， 去美国留学不会仅依据这些数字成绩决定录取与否，他们更注重学生的综合素质，学生的潜在能力或已经具有的研究能力。

所以有些学校是允许学生递交一些除了学校必须的申请材料，像额外的推荐信、简历、论文等等。少数学校是允许的，很多学校不是很建议学生递交很多的额外材料，这些材料是不会退回的。

可以递交额外申请材料的学校举例：

Supplementary Materials

Pleasedo not feel any pressure to submit supplementary materials. In fact, you shouldthink carefully before submitting supplementary materials with your Yale Collegeapplication. Most successful applicants submit only the items that we require.There are cases in which too many submissions, or submissions that do notreflect a high level of talent, can actually work against a candidate. Becausethe admissions committee gives greatest weight to the documents required of allapplicants, we recommend that you focus your energy on those elements of theapplication.

Supplementary submissions may make sense for students with substantial andwell-developed talent that cannot adequately be conveyed in the rest of theapplication. Due to the large number of applications that Yale Collegereceives, we cannot evaluate all supplementary materials. Admissions officersand faculty members will be selective in choosing which submissions to review.We have considered, in past, audio recordings, musical scores, art samples,writing samples, scientific research papers, and links to personal websites. Weencourage you not to submit additional letters of recommendation, resumes, orpersonal essays; these are less likely to shed a helpful light on yourapplication

学校建议你不用提交另外的推荐信，简历或者论文。你提交的其他补充材料不一定会被学校参阅。可以不提交的。
