Applying to College

<p>I know that theoretically I'm supposed to use this box to explain some hardship I faced in high school that caused my grades to drop. And my lack of a supporting family. And my financial responsibility. And this, that, and the other.</p>

<p>But none of this is true for me. In terms of extraneous information, the whole thing I couldn't really mention in any (non-essay) portion of the application was my family's travels. But I did that in the first essay.</p>

<p>I am a Girl Scout Gold Award Recipient and I didn't get to fully discuss this in my application because I talked about other things in my essays. Could this go in the mysterious section?</p>

<p>Or should I leave it blank? Everyone says to use it, but I don't know what for?!?!?!?!?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Oh come on, help out a poor procrastinating soul.</p>

<p>I don't think the UC's want to read another essay in this section. If you mentioned it in your ec's then that should be ok.</p>

<p>Hm, perhaps you can elaborate on another extracurricular?</p>

<p>It would probably be to your advantage to show more of your personality, but it would be a disadvantage to just be fluffing up your essay. </p>

<p>Ah..tough call. =\ Good luck with that.</p>
