If I really like the school, I use the additional comments section to express why I really want to go there/be a good fit there (if there wasn't an essay question on it already). I would think you'd also want to use it if you have something in your app that you'd like to expand upon...like a poor grade/withdrawal or a missing pre-requisite. As for using it for another long, wordy essay...you might rather leave it blank. Remember that schools probably don't enjoy reading a million essays nor do you enjoy writing them. If they want an adversity/dilemma essay they'd probably require it through one of their other essay questions.

If I haven't gotten the chance elsewhere, I explain what I'm doing for the next year because I've already graduated. So I talk about my job, volunteer experiences, etc. Other than that, I talked about why I liked that school in particular if I hadn't already said it elsewhere.

If I had already mentioned these two things then I left the additional comments blank.
