T-14 Optional Essays?
Hi all,
Could someone confirm that the following list for T-14 optional essays is comprehensive? I found a list on TLS but it was fairly old (2009?)
This is only regarding optional essays, not addendum and diversity statements.
Yale - Personal statement + Yale 250
Harvard - Personal statement
Stanford - Personal statement
UChicago - Personal statement
Columbia - Personal statement
NYU - Personal statement
UPenn - Personal statement + Optional Essay
Berkeley - Personal statement
Michigan - Personal statement + Optional Essay
UVA - Personal statement
Duke - Personal statement + Optional Essay
Northwestern - Personal statement
Cornell - Personal statement
GULC - Personal statement
Am I missing anything? Thanks!

Pretty sure Yale's 250 is NOT optional.
Georgetown has a set of 250 word optional essays, of which you may submit 1. Prompts are here:https://www.law.georgetown.edu/admissio ... ponses.cfm

Penn's is basically required, Y250 is required. Duke, UVA and UMich are YPish without their optional essay but some recommend waiting for waitlists.

Do those NYU scholarship program essays count as optional essays? Also, do diversity statements count? If I remember correctly, Harvard had an optional Diversity essay.
