<p>for commonapp there is a space for additional information. what am i suppose to put it there? is it necessary to put something?</p>
<p>If you have an unusual circumstance, or need to explain anything further (details on Extra-curriculars, or "why my grades dropped sophomore year") put it there. Also if there was anything else on the app that you couldn't fit in the space provided.</p>
<p>Otherwise skip it. It's not mandatory.</p>
