<p>What are the essays for freshman applicants? I can't seem to find them on the website... thanks!</p>
<p>This year IU had an optional open ended personal statement you could include in your application. It is only necessary though if you feel you are a borderline applicant or if you think something about your application needs to be explained in greater detail. </p>
<p>Basically, if your stats are good enough, there is no reason to submit an essay. Maybe it will be different next year though.</p>
