If I qualify for automatic admissions into college, should fill out the admissions essay?
Asked by timdm85The wording from the website is, "Please address the following questions. These questions are required for freshmen applicants with an Admissions Index of less than 28 (Admissions Index and calculator) or cumulative transferable college credit with a gpa of less than 2.5 for applicants with Running Start or Cornerstone credits." I'm at a 28 points on the admission index and have completed all my highschool core classes. So am I guarantee into this university? The index says "Automatic admission to CWU requires an Admission Index score of 28 or higher and scheduled completion of all high school core classes."

If they say that students with an Admission Index score of 28 or higher are guaranteed admsision, and you have an Admission Index of 28 then yes, you are guaranteed admission. And no, you don't have to write the essay. However, you should email or call an admissions person at the school to be sure. I'm not telling you that because I think I might be wrong about the essay thing. I'm not. But it's a good excuse to make contact with them anyway. One of the things I was told over and over when I was applying to colleges is take every opportunity you can find to make contact with the admissions people at schools you're applying to. That way they're more likely to remember you when they're reading your application, and to think you really want to go to school there (whether it's true or not). And that's a good thing. You had a question about their applications process, and they don't know I just told you the answer, so go write them an email, or call them first thing tomorrow. That way you'll know you've got it right, and you'll have a friend in the admissions office.
