[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For schools that don’t have a supplement, I would suggest a different type of personal essay that is more focused on your major’s origin story. You can still show your values, community orientation and other personal qualities but you need a different type of personal essay for your entire application to work. And in this case, you can easily add some language specific to the school in the last paragraph for two.

[b]Alternatively, use the additional information section to create a short 100-150 word paragraph about the school. I think more professionals will be coming out with strategies on how to do this in the coming months so pay attention.[/b][/quote]

I really think it is a bad idea. if they wanted a why is essay, they would have asked for one.[/quote]

Lots of creative ways to use the Addtl Info section….

this is really good advice and is the approach my kid too. this was the one section that i basically put together for him. used bullet points, kept the one neutral, explained some early low grades, explained disability, explained class conflicts, added some info that didn't fit in activities.

Yes but it’s the opposite advice of ppl on here (and also popular former AO like Sara H)[/quote]
