Inside the Yale Admissions Office
- As a prerequisite, it is optional to submit supplemental materials.
- There is no advantage to submitting them.
- If they are truly important in conveying your identity and life, you can send them.
- Discussions about arts and music are omitted.
- However, it seems that you can submit them to specialists for blind evaluation and use their feedback.
- Regarding STEM research materials:
- A recommendation letter from a mentor is recommended as it provides valuable insights into your contributions in a university lab setting.
- Unlike arts and other subjects, it seems that you do not need to send them to the faculty.
- (This is specific to Yale.)
