<p>I wrote N/A for the optional essay...</p>
<p>What optional essay?</p>
<p>Additional Essay. The last one.</p>
<p>There was no optional essay.</p>
<p>If you mean “Additional Information,” if you had no additional information then it wasn’t necessary to fill out. That was basically a section for explaining illnesses, family situation, etc.</p>
<p>Yeah the additional information.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I know someone else who didn’t write anything there either.</p>
<p>u can always fix it if you want… just resubmit it later… ill try to fix it later… the site is still too laggy… just submitted… now only need counselor recommendation… sent her the form to fax in case she cant do it online with the nonstopping crashing</p>
<p>Yeah it’s optional. I just used it to laundry list achievements, ECs, etc. that I didn’t have room to list in previous sections.</p>
<p>I wrote I am a full IB student and that I would write more later if the site isn’t so laggy.</p>
<p>The additional essay is just for anything that the application hasn’t covered yet. Like I talked about the other schools I’ve attended (it tells you to discuss it there) and my older brother, who somehow didn’t get mentioned on the application at all. It is definitely not necessary.</p>
