Many institutions choose to not map any additional fields in this file, since the supplement is also sent as a PDF. If you do decide to map this file, follow these simple guidelines:
- Do not change the mapping for the Common App ID.
- Do not map application Round information for this file.
- Do not map applicant data. This is already mapped in the CommonApp Source Format
