<p>Did you guys do the optional essay? i just finished the first 3 and i reallllly dont want to do the optional one lol</p>
<p>the official stance is that it won’t hurt you if you don’t do it.
but it might help you if you do.</p>
<p>a good number of people get in without doing the optional essay.</p>
<p>interpret that however you like, but you only apply to college once. ;)</p>
<p>I’m doing 6b, I’m making a slideshow of vacation pictures in Europe. But they do stress that it is optional. As ace said, it won’t hurt you if you don’t do it, but it could help if you do.</p>
<p>I did 6b as well. You might as well do one if you have time.</p>
<p>^Disagree. Don’t do it if you have time. Do it if you actually have something to say.</p>
