<p>Is the additional info section only to talk about circumstances? Or can you talk a bit more about EC's that you didn't have space for? </p>
<p>"Please upload a document here if you wish to provide details of circumstances or qualifications not reflected in the application."</p>
<p>Also, does the common app provide space to submit a supplemental piece that isn't music/theater/art? It would demonstrate one of the passions I talk about on my application.</p>
<p>Hi Chicago, I searched this forum looking for the answer to this exact question about the “Additional Information” question. I would also like clarification on this.</p>
<p>Adcoms only have roughly 15 minutes to review everything. When you use Addl Info, be sure you need to direct their attention to that extra info. In general, you use the EC page to describe sufficiently the impact of the activities- and get 10 slots for that. The short question about a significant EC can be used for some addl detail about one. You win more by an effective app than a long running one- except where that addl detail is truly relevant.</p>
