UC Additional Comments - mines like a third essay...

<p>So I waited until the last 30 minutes to start writing my additional comments section, and after submitting it I realized how much it resembled a third personal statement / essay (and a BS one at that)... I talked about why I got B's every single year each semester from Spanish 2 to Spanish 4 Honors (with a legitimate reason, but I alluded to some utter BS about how I can apply what I learned from this lesson into my future). Not only that, I had the formatting error where it changed all my apostrophes and quotations to "a??"</p>

<p>Is this going to hurt my admission chances? It IS just the additional comments section, right? I don't think it'll help me or hurt me in any way, but who knows :(. The rest of my application I felt was fairly strong, but geez... my additional comments is such BS, I can't get over it :[. It's also 480 words btw, really lengthy.</p>

<p>It’s done. I wouldn’t stress it.</p>

<p>They are told to not worry about formatting errors…and hey, better well explained than not…I had a very short (maybe 50 words) additional comments section describing why my grades fell, but now I wish that I had elaborated a little more. No one will reject you for thinking “BS” on additional comments, so no worries. :)</p>
