[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this is legit or not, but at least one 3rd party college counselor said that for low-acceptance schools with no supplementals, you should still write an email to the AO that covers your territory and basically write a supplemental essay in your email.

It can just be effectively "Why Williams".

I don't know if this is true...but at the same time I can believe it's true and just adds to the BS.[/quote]

Sorry, but that seems like terrible advice. If they wanted a supplemental essay, they would make it part of the application. Getting a bunch of unsolicited emails from applicants sounds like it would just create more work for admissions and be a mark against the applicant who didn’t follow instructions.[/quote]

You may be correct...however, the AO's receive tons of unsolicited emails, so that's part of the job.  Kids will send their quarter grades, ask tons of questions about all kinds of things, etc.  They even answer questions from lots of kids who don't end up applying (though, admittedly they probably have even more junior staff responding).[/quote]
