<p>Can I add another essay?</p>
<p>Yes, you can write an additional essay. The question is whether you should. For a very few applicants an additional essay does make sense. It depends on your situation. </p>
<p>It’s best to use the additional information section to provide new information that you have not had space to present in other parts of the app. Generally, this is not best done in an essay format.</p>
<p>Even if you can, you shouldn’t.</p>
<p>Between the Common Application and the supplement, colleges have asked for the essays they want (and if they want you to include another essay if you like, they’ve given you the opportunity on their supplement).</p>
<p>They really do not want more essays than they want.</p>
