is summer essay optional?

<p>there was a thread on this, but i don't think an answer was truly decided upon.</p>

<p>common app makes it seem like it's only required for applicants not in school. thoughts?</p>

<p>im guessing its optional because the yellow dot was not next to it to indicate that its required.</p>

<p>any other thoughts?</p>

<p>I’m also curious about this…
I didn’t do very much with my summer vacation besides work as it is.</p>

<p>can someone who has already applied/gotten in provide a definitive answer?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure all of the supplements except for the “extra info” one are required. I’m an accepted ED candidate.</p>

<p>When I applied, I just stated what I did during the summer. Nothing real creative. And Kanishka is right about the requirements. All are required except the extra info and if you don’t have to explain your break between schooling.</p>
