<p>Is there an admissions essay at RUTGERS?</p>
<p>yes.................</p>
<p>...But is required? When I applied in the fall of 2005 it wasn't required and I didn't do it.</p>
<p>I remember writing one essay and it was something about diversity. It might have been optional but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.</p>
<p>I believe its only required for the honors program, but I also think that if you don't do it, they may look down on your application as well. (especially if you are borderline, at least attempting it is better than not doing it).</p>
<p>thanks so much... i was planning on one anyway but i know IU doesn't even allow u to send one in so i just wanted to make sure!</p>
<p>The essay is now required for admission, since the change in the structure of the university. They actually read them, and they do affect admissions. Good luck!</p>
<p>What is the essay?</p>
