<p>On the last section of the application, it allows you to 'provide additional information,' but can you post a supplemental essay there or do they have too much to read already?</p>
<p>I posted about a one page essay and I still got in, and I am pretty sure they read it. So I don’t see why not, though I would only do so if there is a reason you need to.</p>
<p>One of their admission people recommended a “paragraph or two”</p>
<p>How about a 2 paged, single spaced essay? Is that too much?</p>
<p>Yes. At the very least cut it in half.</p>
<p>what is required in that spot? what are we expected to write about in there?</p>
<p>Nothing unless you have anything important to add. I needed to explain some poor math grades and a bad high school gpa (I applied as a transfer), so I wrote an essay explaining my learning disability, how it affected me in the past, and why it WON’T affect my performance at Michigan. That was really important. Otherwise I wouldn’t have written anything.</p>
<p>Okay! I cut it down to barely over a page. It’s an essay that I simply wrote one day; no additional information just showing them what I can do with my mind (you know what I mean…). So I should be good to submit it?</p>
<p>I really want to submit today, so could someone please tell me if it is okay if its simply a supplemental essay about what should appear to them as a seemingly random topic.</p>
<p>Here’s my comments for it:</p>
<p>This is simply a supplemental essay that I felt was needed to be added so that the admissions committee would have a more complete view of who I am as a student and as a person.</p>
<p>Should I be okay to submit?</p>
<p>If its something that’s missing in the rest of your app, I’d say go for it, no regurgitation…</p>
<p>It won’t hurt you…I just had a bulleted list of some EC’s that wouldn’t fit on my app…</p>
<p>Honestly, as long as you don’t write “Michigan’s admission counselors are a bunch of idiots,” whatever you write there would be OK.</p>
