<p>i was just wondering since IU does not require an essay, is it still better if I send one on? And where would I send it? thanks!</p>
<p>My son is a freshman at IU, and chose to write the optional essay. As I recall, he printed everything out and sent it in one large envelope to the admissions office. You might call them and ask them if there is one person to whom it should be directed. Good luck!</p>
