Additional Info

This area is often ignored or misinterpreted by many students applying to colleges, which is very unfortunate. If used correctly, the add info section can be a significant boost to a student’s application.

Description outline

The add info section has a limit of 650 words, which many incorrectly interpret as a place to write an additional personal essay. Instead, students should focus on creating an outline of what additional information they would like to inform the admissions committee about regarding their application, such as activities, grade fluctuation, etc. A student should not feel pressure to fill this list up to 650 words but having some words down for this section is important for a competitive application.

Proof

Another facet that this section provides is a place where students can provide proof for their activities and awards. Students can provide links to websites, Instagram pages, and other online sites where their work is documented. This is important to underscore the impact and reach of a student’s activities as well as verify to the admissions committee that the activity is as impactful as outlined in the activity list.
