<p>My very first post! :)</p>
<p>Does the additional information section of common app have to be in formal essay focused on one topic? Or can it be multiple blurbs put together? </p>
<p>What are things that should be included?
Should I mention I came to U.S. at 10? And that even though I qualified for National Merits Commended, I didn't get the honor because I am not a citizen? Or would that come across as pitiful?
Also, should I talk about some flute awards, along with the things above? Or is that too incoherent?</p>
