"Additional Info" . . . Top choice?

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this (it's a two-letter phrase beginning with "N"), but I just wanted some general input. If a school has an optional "additional info" space or whatever, would it be reasonable to mention how this school is your first choice?

I'm thinking that's probably something that should be saved for a letter of intent, should things come to that.

you could turn it into a LOI if you really wanted to.

In other words, avoid mentioning it on the secondary app altogether?

no I mean go ahead if it really is your top choice. I don't see how it could hurt anything.

Oh, gotcha. I thought you meant save it for a LOI.

Right, it won't hurt anything. Just make sure that you back it up with reasons why it is your top choice otherwise that will look like you are just trying to suck up to the adcom. Though I do feel that it is a little premature to have a set top choice because you never know how interviews will change your perceptions of the schools.

That's exactly why I was leaning towards not including this at all on my secondary.
