Should I Write in the Additional Information?

Hi everyone,

So I’m not sure what the additional information section is about on the common app. I was going to write about how my interests dramatically changed junior year (from medicine to gov/history). I was always oriented towards the humanities but I convinced myself I wanted to be a doctor so many of many extracurriculars are very involved in the medical field. Does this seem useful to college admissions or should I exclude this?

Thanks!

According to our college placement counselor, the vast majority of kids should be leaving that part blank.
