<p>i have an essay (1 page long) about my main ec and i was wondering if i could/should put it in the additional info section of the common app. are we allowed to include an extra essay here or should i stick to something shorter like a brief description of ec's or whatever? please help!!</p>
<p>Just put it in the "optional essay" section on the supplement. If it's not for Harvard and your other schools don't have optional essays, don't put it unless it SIGNIFICANTLY adds to your application. Admissions people don't want to read 10 pages of essays... So if it's about debate team or something they've heard about 14143327 times, don't put it. If it's about birdwatching or collecting alligator eggs in the Galapagos or something, put it in the "additional info" section.</p>
<p>lol, thanks..if its about playing classical music in a rural town somewhere in the caribbean..what would you suggest?</p>
<p>That sounds cool! Assuming that was not sarcasm, put it in!</p>
