RamadanAnswered
Muslim students dry-fast over the course of sunrise to sunset everyday, for about a month. This can make a burgeoning course load that much worse. Even if it isn't for that long of a period of time, is it still impressive that I can maintain my grades during this period? Should I include it in the additional info section?

As someone who's fasting as well, I would say it's impressive to maintain your grades during this time. You could say how you have learned to manage your grades, especially when it's quite difficult to focus in school during Ramadan- of course, if you have also learned something from it you could also put it in there. To answer, you can put it in the additional info as it's just a little bit more information about you. I wish you luck!
Being able to maintain your grades during Ramadan seems like it's impressive. But yes, put that in additional information. I think your teachers/professors should know about that.
I don't know, but I think that the more information you provide, the better!
I'm not sure that is something I would write about.

Religion is not always "personal choice" and fasting for any period of time is difficult, chosen or not. If this student's family practices Ramadan, every place they study at, work at, or volunteer at needs to respect that and take that into account, no matter if the majority of the population in that area is muslim or not.
