<p>If I used the additional information box as like a laid back I just want you to know me by me and not just by my accomplishments/scores or whatever, would that be a bad idea? Like, talk about my favorite movie and book just random things like that? Just an idea, probably not a good one, what do you guys think? </p>
<p>You usually only want to use the additional information section for a brief explanation of outside factors that may have impacted your grades or ability to participate in ECs. You can also use this section to list additional ECs or classes that didn’t fit in those sections. If you don’t feel like you NEED to use this section, don’t. It’s just more for the admissions reader to sift through. I can’t imagine it having a positive impact - the last thing you want to do is make your reader annoyed when they’re going through your app.</p>
