Are there any schools that you can apply to by literally just checking a box and paying a fee after you are done filling out the common app?
Yes
@happy1 is there a list? How would you find out which ones?
There are so many of them, really. I don’t think any of my younger daughter’s schools required anything extra on the academic/common app side. Some required dance supplements but that’s a whole other thing.
There are tons of schools that don’t require supplements. I don’t know if any comprehensive list. Do some research and you can find them.
Here’s some good schools with no supplements:
CWRU
Clemson
DePaul
Drexel
Fordham
Ohio State
University of Alabama
University of Connecticut
There are more, but those are just the ones I know of. I’m sure if you google “schools with no writing supplements” hundreds will show up.
My D applied to CWRU because there was not only no supplements but also no fee.
