Additional Information

<p>In the Harvard Supplement, there's this section called Additional Information where you can dump in whatever you'd like them to know. Will you use it? For what purpose?</p>

<p>I wrote an essay expanding on my most meaningful EC. </p>

<p>(I got in EA)</p>

<p>sunglasses: congrats! Was your essay about 500 words, just like for the common app?</p>

<p>Yeah, I seem to remember it being 497 words, lol.</p>

<p>And--thanks!</p>

<p>Then again, you applied EA, so they wouldn't smell Yale in that. But now, they may think it's so Yale...</p>

<p>I thought there's a section for additional essay. If you put your essay in additional infor, what did you put in the "additional essay" box, sunglasses?</p>

<p>to e1dj86: I think it doesn't matter how it smells as long as you can write an excellent piece of writing.</p>

<p>Oh--yeah, I put it in the additional essay...sorry, I did the app in September. Yeah, I left the additional information section blank.</p>

<p>My impression of the additional info section is that you would explain circumstances such as: low grades in a semester of your sophomore year due to a death in the family, circumstances surrounding a school change, etc.</p>

<p>If you don't have any additional info to convey, leave it blank.</p>

<p>One more thing: I did send a resume, but I sent it via-mail to my admissions rep, not via-app.</p>

<p>how do you figure out who your admissions rep is? is it on their website somewhere?</p>

<p>bump-- i'd like to know too</p>

<p>tried searching the h website. </p>

<p>didn't work.</p>
