Point72 Academy - What to Include in the Notes to the Hiring Manager?

Is this a section to allow us to explain a little bit more about ourselves and provide a few of our prouder accomplishments, or is this literally there for logistics? 

It says "This is not a required field. If there are particular details, such as logistical considerations or competing offer timelines that you would like to share, you may note them here." I want to capitalize on any opportunity to stand out but I also don't want to piss them off by having a 300-word blurb in there that they'll never read.

Cheers
