<p>On the common app I saw a friend put an extra essay of about 500w into the section that says "Any add. info or special circumstances that you would like us to know". Is this a normal or good thing to do? Thanks.</p>
<p>Ooh, and at the start it had some metaphor, so it was a bit of abstract creative writing in one paragraph.</p>
<p>anyone? i'm thinking about doing this as well....</p>
<p>well in that case it has to totally be a personal essay...mentioning "more" about yourself...moreover, some ppl use this space to tell the university why they want to join it which obviously is becomes more specific....it is always helpful to follow the latter approach as it portrays to the univ. that you really know a lot about them and how much an acceptance means to you!!</p>
<p>I'm thiking of sending an additional essay to my jan 1st deadline schools. How should i go about it? Send it through email?</p>
