<p>Son is applying EA to UNCA. He was notified that the supplemental essay is missing from his application. When applying, he couldn't find a prompt anywhere, even on the college website, and the common app didn't state one was necessary, as at other schools, so he assumed there wasn't one. He is now searching for the prompt for the essay, and has about 4 days to get the essay in, but not having any luck. He will email and call the school asap, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has had this issue or knows where the prompt can be found! Thanks.</p>
<p>Probably too late by now…but
