College essays

<p>I just started filling out my application to Auburn, and I have a few questions
- At the end of the application is an additional info section, which contains free response questions, would a complete essay ( intro, body paragraphs, conclusion) be best or just a simple paragraph?</p>

<ul>
<li><p>One question asks me to describe my most challenging obstacle- would anxiety be too risky?</p></li>
<li><p>I changed schools 7 times between three different states and my custody agreement changed twice over the course of my soph and junior years, which hurt me academically- would it be appropriate to put that information in the special circumstances which adversely affected me box? I'm not sure if that box is only for people who faced more challenging situations in high school like a family member passing away or having a major illness </p></li>
</ul>

<p>-in case this info is useful, I got either high b's or a's in most of my classes, although there were a couple of c's and one f ( I repeated the failed semester in summer school and got an A) due to my unstable attendance</p>

<p>I think you should mention your circumstance either there or in an essay.</p>
