Common App schools with no supplement?

bravenewworld · 08-03-2009, 02:01 PM

i'm already tiring of essays. Are there any "good" schools that don't require an supplmental essay?

Washington University in St. Louis has the easiest supplement ever, with NO extra writing portion. It's basically a copy of what your common app asks, without any writing.

Boston College just requires you to fill out your basic info in the supplement. No essays or short answers.

Wesleyan actually has no supplement. You fill out a Pre-Application deal on their website and you're good to go with the Common Application.
Vanderbilt is similar to how applicannot describes Wash U's application.

Dartmouth's application doesn't have any essays.

Ohio Wesleyan University doesn't have a supplement. Rollins College doesn't have any extra essay questions.

That's it for the schools I'm applying to.

Marquette has no essay. They just ask you some questions regarding your future study plans. It's so simple that I just added Marquette to my list in my common app profile and checked out their supplement just like that and saw that there's nothing to it, so i submitted it then and there! And they don't require a fee either.

OK, I just checked my common app page and Drexel and Millsaps don't have supplements either. And the College of Wooster just requires to answer some questions. Similar to Marquette, mentioned in my previous post.

Hang on, everyone. Are some of you seriously considering submitting applications to colleges simply because they have no supplements? That seems terribly short-sighted. Before you go down this path, I hope you will stop and ask if these colleges are a good fit for you. Otherwise, you will wind up contributing to the very problem that so many people on this site complain about: ever-increasing selectivity. More of you will wind up applying to more colleges that you don't really interest you that much, resulting in increased apps, resulting in decreased admission rates--and, most likely, larger and larger wait lists.

I don't mean to preach, but give this some thought.
