Common Application

I am filling out the common application and finished the "Short Answer" and "Personal Essay". However, it also asks whether I want to add any "Additional Info". What in the world are they asking for. The application already had spaces for your activities, scholastic achievments, etc., and the "Short Answer" and "Personal Essay" let you explain something else about you. I am sure they do not want to usual BS (I am a hard worker, good student, etc.),, so what are they seeking with this inquiry?
