IB Program/Additional Info Section on the Common APP

Applying to College

<p>On the "Additional Info Section" of the common app, should IB students list the details of their CAS Program? For example, I chose an emphasis on sustainability, should I talk more about that?</p>

<p>Also: Some people have suggested I include my EE topic on my additional info section, is this valid/common practise/overkill? I don't want to write too much on my additoinal info document, right now its at 1 page with slightly extended margins and my IB CAS and EE information. Any US students who know about the IB program and how to highlight skills/attirbutes on the additional info yoru help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Even for those who are not sure abotu the IB stuff. could you let me know what the Ivy Leagues/Top Private schools prefer on the additional info section besides other awards/honors? Thanks!</p>

<p>On my additional info section, I just put that only one of my grandparents went to college and listed the cities/countries I have lived in. I didn’t mention anything about my CAS project or EE topic. If they know you’re in the program, they know you are doing those two so I don’t really think they need/want any more information about it, they already know you’re awesome just for being in the program ;)</p>
