I’m applying to Dartmouth College and I was wondering if I could use the prompt (We believe it is critical that your candidacy reflect the interests, experiences and pursuits that are most important to you. To this end, is there anything else you would like us to know?)…last prompt I think…as a sort of “why” essay. I was thinking maybe writing about my family and personal struggles and how Dartmouth could help me overcome my struggles I still endure today. (of course I would be alot more specific as to how and why)

So is this fine? Or is this something like the “additional section” portion of the common application?

Thanks!
