Additional information on Common App

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi!
I am applying to universities in the US from Santiago, Chile.
I will graduate from a very small school in Chile. it has around 200 students in both middle school and high school.
There are about approx. 50 students in high school, and my class (18 students) is going to be the biggest class ever graduated from the school.
My school, being so small doesn't offer any kind of extra curricular activities, clubs, advance or high level courses or even a sports team, but it has been on the top 5 high schools of Chile on PSU results (standardized test taken on Chile)
All of my extra curricular activities are from outside of school, like for example to take a calculus course I enrolled on a local university, to play sports I had to look for a club.</p>

<p>Will It make a difference if I get all of that known through the additional info section of the common app to college, or it will just look like I am begging to be accepted?
Thanks!</p>

<p>I would include everything you are involved with under the “Activities” section since the source of the activity (high school, club, university, etc) is not important for that part of the application. Since the Activites section does not allow for a lot of detail or explanation, the “Additional Information” section is the perfect place to provide some context and elaboration. </p>
