<p>Additional Essays
Occasionally, students feel that college application forms do not provide a sufficient opportunity to convey important information about themselves or their accomplishments. If there is something you would like us to know, please inform us below. If you wish to include an additional essay, you may do so.</p>

<p>Possible Topics:
- Unusual circumstances in your life
- Travel or living experiences in other countries
- Books that have affected you the most
- An academic experience (course, project, paper, or research topic) that has meant the most to you
- A list of the books you have read during the past twelve months</p>

<p>Now just to make sure, are the "Possible Topics" just suggestions to possibly spur ideas or are they the prompts you have to choose from?</p>

<p>“Possible topics,” so yeah, just suggestions. Feel free to talk about anything that hasn’t been explained in the rest of the application. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>if you are feeling a little overwhelmed take a deep breath and remember the memory that influenced your life the most. That is what makes you unique! It is sometimes hard removing yourself from the given topics but by doing that you stand out in admissions eyes :)</p>
