Hey guys,
I have a 33 ACT, and a 4.51 WGPA. Writing is my strength-- which colleges DO have writing supplements along with the common app? I feel as though my writing would help me stand out in the admissions process.
If it is otherwise a good match for you, then Tufts has three essays (they used to have four) and puts a lot of weight on them.

Note that this article is about 10 years old so the admit rate has dropped from the 27 percent in the article to about 13% (about 11% for engineering)
Most elite colleges want to know more. Harvard gives you a choice of how to use additional space if you want it.
But count on most colleges having supplements. Colby does not.
Colleges that emphasize writing curricularly may especially value writing submitted during the application process:

More importantly, some of these colleges may be a good fit for you after acceptance.
