<p>Hi. I need help filling out my common application. I've had almost all of it except the third page filled out for months but I've been putting it off forever. Okay I need to know how to fill out the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / EXPLANATION section. Do I just list some extra ECs that wouldn't fit into the list at the top or do I explain the ECs at the top for why I listed them or why I was in them for the certain number of years. Also is there anything else I need to put in that section. I have no idea on how to go about filling it out. And it says that I have a 6000 character limit. Does that mean I need to get close to the limit or that they just gave a bunch of space just in case I needed it. Please help. It would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>For most of those things I'm just as confused as you, but I do know that the character limit definitely does not mean you need to get close to it. It's the max, you can have any amount under that.</p>
<p>Thanks. I asked my sister about it when she came home to visit and she said she didn't put anything in that section. So I guess I'm safe with just listing some ECs that wouldn't fit.</p>
