<p>Ok... for the Common App where you can upload an additional document... would it be stupid to upload a list of you ECs, but explain on it WHY each one is important to you and a few additional details.... because my ECs aren't very self explanatory, they do need a bit of description. </p>
<p>Thanks =)</p>
<p>bad idea.
That's not a place to rewrite what's already said (even if they "aren't self explanatory")
You use that space for explaining a family situation or stuff like that.</p>
<p>hmm... darn. Is there any place to give some more detail?</p>
<p>I disagree completely. Without the additional information, nobody would know what the hell my EC's are (ISSC? KJRA?). I think it's a good idea, as long as you do it briefly</p>
<p>I disagree also. The EC section clearly stated that if you need more space, then write the remainder at the writing sample section. If you need to describe or elaborate a little more about your extra EC's, then go ahead and do so. I'm not sure if it will help you or hurt you in the admissions process, but be bluntly truthful about it.</p>
