EE application - supplementary questions, additional information to share with the school.

Dear everyone,

I am applying to a PhD program in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from a university in the United State.
I am having a problem about the supplementary questions which will be used for helping graduate admission evaluating my applications.
The question asks me to give them the additional information I wish to share with the school.

Do you think that it is OK to left BLANK for this part? Or Do you think it is better to write something down.

My first idea was to write about how my previous research had influenced my direction about future research and choosing professor.
However, it is true that my vision about my research and professor's research can be wrong.
I mean, in fact, I cannot predict what the professor is thinking and indeed, my idea cannot
be precise about the research of the professor.

I am afraid that my answer can be something cliche or not interesting or even showing my misconception, so ... what do you think.

PS
I had explain most of my skills in electrical engineering and my previous research in my SOP.
I also give them my research publications and the name of professor who I am interested in working with.

Thank you for taking time, and your replies.

Do you think that it is better to write something down?


my suggestion : if fact, i deliberate that i cannot give a prediction what the professor thinks, while my idea cannot be precise about the research.

please, you should pay attention with your grammar.

Intorduction : you should explain the general idea
Body : you should write more clearly what do you want to deliver the specific idea.
conclusion : here you have to make a summary from the content.

I think it is a good idea to write about how your previous research has influenced you on what you currently think about the field. What areas interest you. What you like doing and researching in the lab. Talk about your vision if you haven't already. You should explore what the professor you want is currently researching and draw parallels on how you might help if you haven't already. Your grammar is not strong, as mentioned by the previous commenter, so I suggest having knowledgable friends proofread it for you before submitting.

Hope this helps, and thanks for commenting on my essay.

Thank you for your kind response.

I appreciate your help, but due to the limit of time, I did not answer to the additional question.
