5

<p>i think you can put this info into your essays or resume
good luck~</p>

6

<p>anyone else...... could i put it in additional info?</p>

7

<p>I think so.</p>

8

<p>You can put anything in additional info; that's why it's so broad.</p>

9

<p>would they care about getting gold at the jewish olypics, or no?</p>

10

<p>It can't hurt you, can it?</p>

11

<p>They might; none of us here can know. If you earned it, list it.</p>

12

<p>what are some common things people put in additional info???</p>

13

<p>bump 10 char thanks, i really dont want to leave the entire box blank :(</p>

14

<p>Some people use additional info to explain extraordinary circumstances in hs career...Others use it to upload activity sheet.....Like Chedva said, you can put anything in it......</p>

15

<p>college classes taken for credit goes there.</p>

16

<p>also explanation of your felony</p>

17

<p>i sent in a transcript of my college courses for credit... so would i really need to put that there? wouldnt it be repetitive?</p>

<p>Actually, Shrinkrap, the Common App specifically asks for college classes taken for credit elsewhere.</p>

<p>Canes, stop and take a deep breath. There.</p>

<p>Now, think of it this way. You're meeting someone for the first time. You want to impress this person. He or she already knows the basics about you (your stats), and you've been talking for about 10 minutes (your essays). You now have 1 minute to tell this person something that he or she doesn't yet know about you. Go.</p>

<p>That's what you put in Additional Information.</p>

<p>It will not affect you negatively if you leave it blank.</p>

<p>From the academics section</p>

<p>"Other College or University Credit
If have you taken any courses at a College or University for credit, check this box: </p>

<p>List all colleges/universities at which you have taken courses for credit. Include the titles of courses taken and grades earned in the Additional Information area on the Writing Samples section. Please have an official transcript sent from each institution as soon as possible."</p>

<p>Don't know how to italicize, but look about six lines up from here.I noticed it just before DD hit the submit button.</p>

<p>riverrunner: Explanation of your felony does not go in Additional Info. If you check the box that you've got a record (it's on the "sign and submit" page), you are asked to upload a new document concerning your felony to that page.</p>
