<p>I’m applying to UofM soon and I’m confused about which essays to do.</p>

<p>I see two supplemental essays here:
[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: U-M Common Application Supplemental Essays for First-Year Applicants](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/essay/]Office”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/essay/)</p>

<p>And another three essays on the first link of this page:
[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: Forms](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/applying/forms.php]Office”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/applying/forms.php)</p>

<p>Are the supplemental essays required?</p>

<p>For a complete Michigan Application you need a main essay from your common application and the two supplemental essays from the first link.</p>

<p>The second link was for the previous year.</p>

<p>So in total, I’d be doing three essays? Can you give me some info on the main essay for the common app?</p>

<p>Three essays total. Common app comes out August 1’st and I think there is a preview of it up now; basically the topics ( I think five ) stay the same from year to year and you can also make your own question / topic.</p>
