Yes! Thanks for this. We attended an in person admission session at UT CFA and they did not mention the extra essay, but maybe they just forgot? For NEU it was never on our list so it’s possible that if we had done more research we would have known. They sent an unsolicited fee waiver AND I remembered from my older (non-artist) child that there was no supplement, so thought…what the heck…Boston is great…and we already have a portfolio and artist statement ready to go. And it was still unusually cumbersome…they had to work hard to make that happen.
