<p>wasn’t there an essay for the common app? there is no essay on the SUNY app, so they have to ask for it in the supplement.</p>

<p>if you have ANY doubts it is ALWAYS best to call the admissions office and ask THEM rather than rely on a forum such as this. getting your application right is too important not to make sure you get it right.</p>
