alright...

took the aug mcats (no scores yet) and my aacomas app was just processed this last week. schools now have it and i just got my first secondary from DMUCOM. not much work at all BUT there is an 'addtional comments' section that is optional. i don't feel good about leaving it blank--but what do i write? my personal statement was pretty general--lots of revisions and work...so i think it covers most of my bases.

what do i write? or do i leave it blank?

thanks!
 
You can write anything that is short that would expunge on what makes you a good candidate (experience you didn't get to write about elsewhere, explain something that may be a hole in your application, etc). If you can't dont have any additional information that you would like to convey--leave it blank. If you do choose to write something, keep it short, I am sure they don't want to read a really long "additional comments" that just repeats everything else you have written.
