<p>this is probably an extrememly stupid question... but i was just curious about the common application... i know some schools have their own application and some have the common with the supplement for their school... but if you have the common with the supplement, do u need to do both the essays for the school and the supplement? sorry if that is really confusing.. and it is probably really obvious... thanks..</p>
<p>yes, you have to do the common app one no matter what if the school takes common app plus supplement. lots of schools that use a supplement to the common app have optional essays, some have required ones.</p>
<p>there are no stupid questions, only stupid people</p>
<p>wait...what?</p>
<p>haha thanks... yeah i get it now</p>
