<p>I am not entirely sure what the purpose of the "Additional Information" section of the Common Application is for. I wrote the following for it, and I was hoping to get some feedback on it. Is it appropriate for the section? Does it help my application? Any and all suggestion are appreciated and thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Here it is:
I am not sure how well it shows in the rest of my Common Application, but I am interested in much more than just engineering. I have a passion for music, and I love challenging myself with new piano pieces. I have tackled "Un Sospiro" by Liszt, many of Billy Joel's songs, and plenty of easy pop music, too. I enjoy reading about the subjects that interest me outside of school, and I have pursued everything from Paul Ekman's research to espionage operations in WWII. And, judging by the amount of time I have put into them, I love to work on college applications.</p>
