<p>is there an application essay?
i remember hearing that you did not need to do one but on the website it says an essay is required. what i am confused about is that the essay that the website mentions is if you fill out the UMass app and not the common app. It doesn't say anything about the common app essay and all the options are different than the one they want answered if you fill out the UMass app...</p>
<p>I am using the common app, should i write the essay with one of the topics there?</p>
