<p>Would it be alright to attach an essay to the additional information section?</p>
<p>This essay indeed explains some unusual circumstances and why such circumstances exist, but I also expand on it, discussing "what I've learned" and etc.</p>
<p>In a way, it could be used as a Common App Essay, however I have a separate essay for that.</p>
<p>Would it be alright if I attached this essay to the additional information section, or would it be viewed as "annoying" by admissions officers?</p>
<p>No, the Additional Info section is not meant to be a place to put an additional essay. </p>
<p>It is a place for brief explanations to clarify specific parts of your application, but taking it a step further and using it as a place to just add an extra essay for Adcoms to read is not advisable IMO. If they wanted another essay, they would have asked for one in their supplement.</p>
<p>Not necessarilya deal breaker- don’t know where you applied and what you explained. But kids shold be warned to be careful how they state “unusul circumstances” - that it’s not inadvertently a discussion of a liability. Good luck.</p>
