Hi guys, I have two specific questions about applications:

(1) do you have to send 3 or 4 LOR's? I know that in Yale its 4 letters.
What about the rest? What happens if they ask for 3 and you send 4?

(2) should you send a research paper with your application? I know Chicago requires a writing sample, but what about the other universities? I have two good research papers (one is published in an ISI journal, and the other one is a working paper) that I would like the admission committee to read. Should I enclose them anyway? Or just send one? Or none....

Thx,
ELM

Sorry man, I did not make myself clear.
In yale 3 LORs are required, but you have the option to submit more.
