common app question

<p>i know ive posted alot lately in this section (really sorry) but Can I write about two separate topics on the Additional Information section? One is about a death and the other would focus on the elaboration of a few extracurriculars that meant alot to me. </p>

<p>Is this fine? </p>

<p>And also I did this competition and won state, and international. my team was considered first nationally (the other team ahead of us was from another country) Would it be okay if I put down on the extracurriculars section "first place in nation" or would this be cheating? And do I have to mention my team...somebody told me that it would look better if I didnt mention my team got the awards because it would impress colleges more if they thought it was just me who did it. or is it bad to say I got these awards...i dont want to sound like im lying :( i just want my app to stand sigh</p>

<p>It was an International competition and your team came in second.</p>

<p>The best way to not sound like you’re lying is to not lie.</p>
