Applying to College

<p>Ok I have ALOT of info to put down that are extra. I have a video I need to send and some addiitonal info. I don't want to email my admissions rep and put all the info there. Is there a way I can include some info that might make my app a little clear..maybe explain low grades..explain my rank, rigor...etc ec's and all that jazz. Is there an extra 1 or 2 pages ( how many pages?) of additional ifnormation I can include that the admissions officers WILL read?</p>

<p>Of course my counselor will include some stuff, but some of it she really won't be a help on.</p>

<p>I'm scared of the UC's because I really need to tell them something about my rigor, but I heard UC's don't read essays or additional info pages? I'm scared.... </p>

<p>Schools I'm looking at ( just tell me which schools offer additional pages that you can include info on):</p>

<p>UCLA
UC San Diego
UC Davis
Georgetown
Columbia
Stanford
northwestern-common app
brown
Princeton-Common APP
U of Chicago
Cornell-COMMON APP
Harvard-Common APP
Yale- Common App
Upenn-COMMON APP
USC
Rice-common app
Duke-common app</p>

<p>Common app definitely has space for additional info. Why don't you just look at the apps yourself?</p>

<p>Supplementary materials like videos should just be sent via mail directly to the admissions office.</p>

<p>Additional info is stuff like 'My mom died and my grades plummetted' or 'I had mono and missed 3 months of school'.</p>

<p>Unless you have what one would call a legitimate excuse, don't put it in that box. And certainly don't write two pages about it. One paragraph. Maybe two.</p>

4

<p>Why not ask your GC to explain that? That being your rigorous course load and rank. I would suspect that that is not something you put in Additional Info, but I am not sure. I would think you put an illness, hardship, etc. there.</p>

<p>UCs won't accept supplemental info like a video or drawings or an extension of your essay but yes, they do read essays and the additional info part.</p>
