<p>I'm filling out the application right now (it's due for me tomorrow), and I was wondering is Additional Comments a good place to put the general youth activism I do. This includes school petitions, campaigning for politicians and actively supporting a school program that is about to be taken away. I don't address them in my personal essays and of course there is no place to put them under ECs.</p>
<p>Since there isn't any other place for you to put it, I see no harm in putting it in the Additional Comments section. Good luck!</p>
<p>I have another question while we're at the UCs - do they need letters of recommendation? (UCSD, to be specific)</p>
<p>^^ No. If you send recs, they will throw them out.</p>
<p>lol. That's why the essays are so important.</p>
<p>thanks a lot!</p>
