[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes see paid counselors suggest using this box for honors and extra essays. But EVERY admissions counselor I’ve heard talk about it says it really is for actual extenuating circumstances or scheduling conflict explanations (ie couldn’t take a 4th year of world language because it conflicted with calculus). Kids might get in despite putting dumb stuff in that box but it’s still not a great idea. [/quote] They've split it up now. One is Addtl Info and one is Challenges and Circumstances. Our private's CCO has advised on always using Addtl Info.....very good success rate.[/quote] I think using one of those boxes to identify research or explain some meaningful EC in more detail is fine. If your school is encouraging you to do it all and everyone is doing it, I’m sure that’s fine. Remember you’re compared to your peers.[/quote]
