Additional Information

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I talked to my guidance councelor, and he suggested i submit two essays. ( i have two Personal statements and cant choose between them cuz they say such completely diff things about me.)
anyway, i was unsure so i talked to the other guidance councelor and she said, it would fine to put it in the additional information box.
from what ive read on CC, i'm not too sure a second essay would be taken too well by colleges (since they also require supps) but then at the same time my gc said that if they want more info i have provided it to them and if they dont want it they wont use it.. </p>

<p>so should i go ahead and do it?</p>

<p>That is a very elastic interpretation of what the Additional Information section is intended for. Risky.</p>

3

<p>I don't think you should do it unless the college asks for more info in its supplement. Do you really think that admissions officers will want to double their work?</p>

<p>mmm yeah thats true! thanks!</p>

<p>AAAAH!</p>

<p>what do people put in their additional info boxes then?! like resumes?</p>

<p>Do guidance counselors need to send students' resumes to colleges the students are applying to? How many pages are your resume in general?</p>

No. They only need to send transcripts and fill out the School Report form.</p>
