It's entirely up to you. There's no point repeating things in your main PS, but if there's something unique to the Cambridge course you particularly like, or the course you've applied for at Cambridge is quite different to all your other choices (eg chemistry/natural sciences), then by all means, talk about it there Smile

Just keep it brief!

Im assuming its kinda similar to the box on the Oxford form where they ask if there's anything additional you want to say. When I was at the Open Day in Oxford I was talking to one of the admissions tutors there and she said that over 50% of people leave it blank and it doesn't harm your application at all, but some people like to put in why they specifically want to go to the university because obviously you cannot put that in your personal statement.

I was told by a tutor (at school - not a university) that Cambridge put more emphasis on the additional form than Oxford do (who are quite happy if you leave it blank). Your best bet might be to speak to a Cambrige admissions tutor and check with them.
