Immigration & "Additional Information" section

<p>Hey guys, decided to make my own thread for a better chance of more replies. </p>

<p>I moved over here from a foreign country, and started freshman year in high school, and I didn't know about honors and AP sytem over here, and so I took only some (2 out of 5) honors courses in the freshman year. If I knew about the system, I would have taken all honors and AP's, which I did in the next three years. Now my question is could I state that in the Additional Information Section?</p>

<p>Also, I did Boys State in my junior year, and could I put that over there too since there is no space in the "Activities" section?</p>

<p>well i don't think you have to explain about your lack of honor courses in the freshman year.. i mean it's only three and you've taken all high level courses from then on...
i thought the additional information (on commonapp) was more like an essay? i'm not sure..</p>
