Number of Essays? + "What Else Would You Like Us to Know?"

<p>I was wondering how many essays should be submitted with each application. Looking at the online applications of HYP, they only ask for two; however, looking at many of the accepted/rejected threads, I'm finding that people wrote 3.</p>

<p>My other question concerns the part of the application that asks, "What Else Would You Like Us to Know?" Could this section be used for another essay, not necessarily about difficult circumstances (i.e. financial problems) but just personal qualities?</p>

<p>sorry, wrong section - I don't know how to move posts, but I reposted in college admissions</p>
