<p>i have already finished common application and supplement with 10 brief questions and was about to submit; i'm confused now...</p>
<p>they resent the email w/ the direct connection application... even though there is in fact another essay, should i use this and not the common app if I want to show that I'm interested?</p>
<p>Essentially what I'm asking is will it give me any sort of advantage? I mean they obviously don't send these for nothing.</p>
<p>If I were yall, I would do the common application because
the Direct Connection one is binding or something like that.
(I got it too.)</p>
<p>Call the admissions office, they are very nice and will give you the best info.</p>
<p>the Direct Connect app is only binding if you apply ED. Since WF accepts the CA, they guarantee that they will not show preference to thieir own app, i.e., they will treat all applicantion formats equally. That being said, however, completing an "extra essay" could help show more of "you" and make it easier for your regional rep to make the case for admissions.</p>
<p>For common application supplement, WF only requires 11 short answer questions, and for the personalized application, there's also only one essay? Where did you guys get the SIX essays from?</p>
