How to structure common app additional info?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

Hi,

I’m applying to my dream university as early decision and have quite a few important things to write about in addtional information section.

But things that I want to mention don’t link together- they’re separate events. Can I write about those events in detail as paragraphs and number the paragraphs?
They don’t look at my writing style or anyting like they would in my personal essay right?
I just want to be straight to the point and not describe anything unnecessary, just want to be factual.

Please help
Thanks

Yes, you can absolutely include separate items in the Add’l Info section.
Give each paragraph an underlined header (numbering is fine too, but the underlining will help to distinguish the new sections) that says what it is (e.g. Activity: Swimming Awards; Activity: Raisin Research; Chronic Medical Issue; …whatever is happens to be).

You can do separate paragraphs. Make it factual, bullet point if necessary. You don’t need to write an “essay.”
