Hey guys! I'm applying to IU Bloomington and was wondering if they require an additional essay beyond the Common App one. I just want to be prepared and make sure I'm not missing anything in my application. Thanks for any insights you can offer!
Hello! No, Indiana University Bloomington does not require an additional essay beyond the one included in the Common Application. The Common App essay should be sufficient for their application review.
However, keep in mind that some specific programs or scholarships within IU Bloomington may require supplemental materials or essays. Make sure to double-check the requirements for any special programs you're interested in to ensure your application is complete, and don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office to make sure you haven't missed anything.
Since IU Bloomington doesn't have any supplemental essays, your Common App essay is especially important. If you want tips on how to craft a strong one, check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-common-application-essays/
