Anyone accepted ED without $10 essay?

<p>the site says, in bold, that they “strongly recommend” applicants do both essays</p>

<p>Uh, thunderbeast. We’re in the JHU forum, so most likely the $10 essay is for Hopkins. It’s just a guess…</p>

<p>from the Hopkins Insider blog (again!) (<a href=“http://hopkins.typepad.com/[/url]”>http://hopkins.typepad.com/&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>For applicants applying using the Common Application the only required essay is one of the Common Application essays. However, the Admissions staff strongly encourages all applicants, including those using the Common Application, to submit BOTH the Johns Hopkins essays. These two essays can be in addition to the Common Application essay or in lieu of it.</p>
