Common App Question

<p>Ok so I'm a little confused with the common app. I know that I have to pick one of the outlined essay questions - just freshly released for this application year, but then are there more OPTIONAL common app essays? If so how many and where can I find them? I know all about individual school supplements, but I'm just asking if the actual common app also has more than one essay and whether the others are optional.</p>

<p>you can choose any one of the 5 options</p>

<p>Yes, I’m aware of the main essay. However, I heard that there are additional optional essays on the common app besides the options for the main one. Is that true?</p>

<p>oh, im not sure. i thought it was only the main and the supplements for each college. If they dont tell us i doubt there are others bc then we dont have time to prepare them.</p>
