Hi! I'm applying to Florida State University, and I'm a bit confused about their application process. Does FSU require an essay or is it optional?
Appreciate any help!
FSU does require an essay: the personal statement that will be part of your main Common Application, and will likely be submitted to many of the schools on your list. You can choose from a range of open-ended prompts to tell admissions officers your story.

If you're applying for a specific program, such as the Honors Program or certain scholarships, there might be additional essay requirements. Make sure to double-check the requirements for those programs if you plan on applying.
Good luck with your application to FSU!
