what is additional info used for?

<p>on the commonapp, can you put in an extended list of activities and awards or is it reserved for extenuating circumstances?</p>

<p>i put a circumstance that hindered my performance in school. I dont really think its for activities? I mean why would u need more room? It’s really for anything though i guess. If you cured AIDS, put it there.</p>

<p>It’s mainly a place to elaborate on some aspect of yourself/your application that is complicated (like an unusual circumstance) or something that’s hard for them to know about. In my add. info section I included the syllabus for an independent study that I’m doing (not in a normal field).</p>
