Help, How exactly do I write the Additional Information at the end of the CA?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I am almost done with my application but at the end it said to provide details of circumstances. When I write this, do I write it as if its a mini-essay, or can I like make a list.</p>

<p>Would these be good things to include
1. My involvement in a high school activity during middle school. I listed all my high school awards for one of my activity, but not my middle school awards or experiences and how it connected with when I continued my activity in high school.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Having financial issues and having to help my family work for a few months in sophomore year and how it affected school. My grades actually weren't severely affected, but it is something that happened.</p></li>
<li><p>Activities that I did last summer</p></li>
<li><p>Why I couldn't take a lot of the honor classes I wanted to take.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Do I start my additional information page with like: "<em>(insert activity)</em>_ is something I'd like to elaborate on"?</p>

<p>No need of any formal intro of what you are going to write below; the adcoms know that applicants use this section to reveal something that couldn’t be presented in the application.</p>

<p>Write it in any way that is comfortable to you…Since your points have no coherence, it would be better to list them.</p>

<p>Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>Yeah I’m thinking about just explaining more about some of my activities and writing a little bit about myself outside of school.</p>
