Any colleges with no required essays?

I'm pretty swamped with essays for all my college applications, and I'm hoping to find some colleges that don't require any additional essays. Does anyone know of any colleges that don't ask for supplemental essays or personal statements? Thanks in advance!

Absolutely! While many colleges do require essays, there are a good number of schools that don't ask for any supplemental essays or personal statements as part of their application process. Keep in mind that some of these colleges might still recommend submitting an essay, or they might have an optional essay or writing prompt that you can choose to complete.

Some colleges that don't require essays include:

1. Arizona State University (ASU)

2. California State University (CSU) system - all 23 campuses, including Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, etc.

3. University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)

4. Kansas State University (KSU)

5. Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)

6. University of Alabama (UA)

7. University of Tennessee-Knoxville (UTK)

8. University of Nevada-Reno (UNR)

You can use websites like CollegeVine, which can help you filter and search for colleges based on whether they require essays or not. Remember that even though these colleges don't require essays, it's still important to have a strong academic record and compelling extracurricular activities to submit a competitive application.

Also, consider applying to colleges using the Common Application or Coalition Application, as this will allow you to complete one main essay (personal statement) that can be sent to multiple colleges, potentially saving you time and effort. Good luck with your college search!
