<p>whats the situation with this option? is this like a 3rd essay or does JHU usually not want an extra essay written?</p>
<p>On the common app or the JHU app?</p>
<p>oh sorry, on the JHU app</p>
<p>The additional information section is for ... additional information. In no way is this section required, nor is it a section for an extra essay. It exists for students who want to include additional information they feel is important to be included in their application. </p>
<p>As far as additional essays, we do not recommend them. We prefer applicants only submit their JHU essays and/or their common application essay.</p>
