Hey everyone, I’m starting to look at college applications and Utah State caught my eye. Can anyone here share their experience applying to Utah State? Are there any additional essays required or is it pretty straightforward with the common app or their own application?
Hello there! Indeed, Utah State University has quite a streamlined admissions process. The application is fairly straightforward and can be completed through their own online portal or the Common Application, so you can choose whichever platform you're more comfortable with.
To provide some more specifics: for the application, you'll need to fill out the standard sections including your personal information, academic history, and extracurricular activities.
Good news is Utah State does not require submission of any additional essays apart from the Common App essay if you're using that platform to apply. This can be a relief for many students since there's less writing to worry about.
Finally, keep in mind the deadlines - the priority financial aid deadline is December 1st, while their regular application deadline is April 1st.
Above all, remember to thoughtfully fill out your application sections, add all the relevant and significant information, and thoroughly double-check it all before submission. Good luck with your application!
