I'm planning out my workload for college app season, and I need to know if I should prepare any supplemental essays specifically for Indiana University Bloomington. Anyone know if they ask for extra essays?
Hi there! Indiana University Bloomington does include a section for supplemental essays in their application. However, they are considered optional. This is an opportunity for you to elaborate on your experiences, aspirations, or any other information that you feel will help the admissions committee get to know you better. Even though it's optional, I always recommend taking advantage of this space to make your application stand out. Offer insight into something that isn't covered in the rest of your application materials. For example, if you've been involved in a special project or passion outside of school, this is a perfect place to talk about it. Best of luck with your college applications!
