<p>I'm applying to Mizzou and it's my number one choice. I meet the required ACT score (24, I got a 29), and the required high school classes. An essay is not required for the application, however I was told I could do one if I so choose. Should I send one in or not? Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>no. youll easily get in if you have a 29- dont waste your time with an optional essay, esp b/c mizzou is your top choice</p>
<p>If I were you I would still do it because I will be paranoid enough to think I will get rejected. LOL. Why don't you send the essay you wrote for another school with minor changes?</p>
<p>also i have like a 3.3 gpa which is ok but i'm in the bottom half of my class.</p>
