<p>Should the part on the Common Application labeled "Additional Information" only be used to explain really "different" things like if (for example) you are an orphaned child raising 3 brothers and sisters as well... or if you saved someone's life or some really incredible thing?</p>
<p>They common app gives you 7 extra-curricular lines to fill in. It's my understanding that they expect that you won't need more than 7 lines to describe your EC's.
Is this corrent?</p>
<p>the Additional Information part should be left blank for the most part?</p>
