How did you guys handle the Additional Information session? D20 has left it blank, as she didn’t really feel that she had anything that needed further explanation. I am wondering if she should utilize that section to expand on one of her activities and/or career goals? Or talk about something else? Or is that overkill?
The Add’l Info section is optional. It is perfectly fine to leave it blank. If the college wants to have the applicant expand on an EC or her goals, there is usually a supplemental question asking such.
That section is meant for students with abnormal circumstances. This is not a section for an extended resume. Your daughter was right to leave it blank. The section is for students who have circumstances such as being home-bound or a large gap in their transcript. Colleges sometimes look down on students who use this as a second activites section because that’s not its intent.
Thanks, guys.
She will leave it as is (blank).
