<p>HELP! Special Circumstances, Additional Qualifications, etc. </p>
<hr>
<p>Hello everyone.</p>
<p>I am sure that this portion is already the "hot topic" of the Common App, but I am unsure about what I should write.</p>
<p>"Include any additional information that you would like to provide regarding special circumstances, additional qualifications, etc.</p>
<p>Under the guise of "special circumstances", I was considering writing about bing forced to leave High School for medical reasons, hence the lack of consistency in HS grades, no class rank and receiving a degree from an adult school. This would also encompass the reasons why I was not a member of any clubs and EC's in HS.</p>
<p>Would this be appropriate? I am aware that most individuals hold the opinion that this section should be used as location for a resume. However, shall I explain my medical history in order to explain my lack of an "orthodox" HS record??</p>
