<p>Hey guys, is it a bad idea to mention that my dad has bipolar disorder under "Additional Information"? If I did, I'd briefly convey how the illness has affected my summers and changed me spiritually. This is such a mystifying section LOL because it says you can talk about any special circumstances. Are they just referring to conditions that have influenced academic performance or extracurricular involvement? Thank you!</p>
<p>SapphireM, that sounds more like an essay topic for common app or supplements than additional info. Are you talking about the section at the end? My son added in information on activities/internships that didn’t fit on the regular sections.</p>
<p>Thanks. Yeah, I was referring to the section at the end. What about stating why they don’t have my SAT Subject Test scores yet, is that an appropriate thing to discuss in this section?</p>
