I have a question about the essay

<p>Hey, I'm not sure how to word this question but I'll try my best.</p>

<p>Would the essay be the appropriate place to talk about things not stated in the prompt? I noticed a lot of people give advice to others to mention something in their essay (such as being a first gen college student, minority background, etc.) but the prompt doesn't say to include something like that. I wrote my essay just about the prompt but if we can include other info that would be nice because I have some things that might help my essay that I included in the student resume but not the essay itself.</p>

<p>It’s your essay, if adding any of that info makes it stronger, of course, go ahead. Just don’t force a list of items into the essay. </p>

<p>There is another section for adding any “additional” info; you can add additional info to that section, if you don’t feel it “fits” in your essay.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
