[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes my kid did. Our private counselor suggested it was a [b]good place to explain a well developed by unusual interest so it was a focused essay about his pointy interest. [/b] 500 or so words. Went to all Common App schools. Other supplemental essays didn’t repeat that topic.[/quote] I think this is appropriate. Basically, to explain an extracurricular involvement/academic interest as an elaboration on the tiny amount of space on the activities list. But not appropriate to do a completely separate personal statement in the same vein as the common app essay. And, of course, to explain any special circumstances that affected transcript, grades, etc. Like you didn't continue your foreign language in senior year because it conflicted with class X which was a priority for you because it aligns with your planned major. Or you had mono in junior year.[/quote]
