<p>Got it. I did think of Georgia Tech when I wrote the above, but for some reason Illinois Tech doesn’t have the same significance to me – maybe over time.</p>
<p>I do have another question. On the Common App, there is an additional information section that states: “Please provide an answer below if you wish to provide details of circumstances or qualifications not reflected in the application. You may enter up to 650 words.” My impression of this section has been that it is a place to describe extenuating circumstances or personal hardships that you may have encountered that may have contributed to poor grades early on. Do you know what IIT’s expectation is regarding this section?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
