It’s said that CSU does not look at essay scores for admission, but its application asks for the essay scores (for reading, analysis, and writing). Do we need to fill in the essay scores? Thanks.
The essay portion of the ACT/SAT is not a CSU admission requirement so you do not have to report on the application.
Thanks for your help, Gumbymom. Curious why CSU put the SAT/ACT essay part on the application form. I remember UIUC does not require SAT/ACT essay, so its application does not have that part.
Students will take the essay portion since many other colleges still want the essay score so if you have your essay scores, there is no harm in reporting but that is optional.
Thank you, Gumbymom.
