<p>For time-strapped/lazy seniors! :) Those schools that have supplements that only require some biographical info, no extra essays, or have no supplement at all. Feel free to add on...</p>
<p>Wesleyan U
Vanderbilt
Duke (Why Duke is OPTIONAL)</p>
<p>Dartmouth doesn’t have one</p>
<p>But they have that gross peer evalutaion :(</p>
<p>That’s nothing YOU have to do! You’re just sending a form to a friend! Hahaha</p>
<p>Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Arizona… applied to all of them and no extra material was required besides the basic. Though actually I think Minnesota required a counselor rec/ transcript request form.</p>
<p>American University has no common app supplement.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you have above a 3.4 GPA, UO does not require an essay. Also, the supplement for the University of British Columbia application is optional.</p>
<p>Also Boston College.</p>
<p>Middlebury and Harvard</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh</p>
<p>its not on the common app, but their app still requires no essay; it simply asks to list ECs</p>
<p>Is this really a deciding factor for anyone? Penn State only has an optional personal statement. Ohio State’s is also optional. Personally, I enjoy getting to express myself to adcoms.</p>
<p>Many state schools don’t require essays, because they don’t have the budget/staff to read/evaluate them.</p>
