I applied to Harvard RD and am curious about whether I should email a professor or two in the English department. I've done a lot of creative writing so I'd love to send some of my work over to a faculty member. But I know that a supplementary writing portfolio will be looked at by a professor so would it be seen as unnecessary at best?
By the way, this doesn't just apply to Harvard but to basically all my reaches I applied to. And I only ask this because I've seen several reports about students emailing professors (from various fields) and receiving uplifting replies.
What do you guys think and why?
