What schools have no secondary essays?

[aegistitan]

So the previous threads seem outdated. There was a list in one, but I don't know how accurate it is given that RWJ now has essays and that list said RWJ didn't have essays, so I thought someone could provide me with an up to date list of schools with no secondary or some type of spreadsheet with all up-to-date secondary questions, or we could work together to create a new list.

The updated list (7/24/16):
Albert Einstein
Boston University (1 optional essay, 1 mandatory if gap year)

Jefferson (1 optional essay)
Harvard (if a senior, and applying New Pathway)
Indiana
Mayo

NYMC
Rochester
St. Louis

SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Downstate (4-5 short answer)
UCSF
University of Nebraska
University of Wisconsin (1 optional essay)
University of Tennessee
UT Galveston
UT Houston
UT San Antonio
Washington University - St. Louis (1 optional essay)
Wright State University

Take MCW off the list, they had 1 required essay this year (and it was kind of long if I remember right).

 

[clairephillips]

Take Texas Tech El Paso off the list. They definitely had secondary essays. They were short, but there was more than one.

 

[miszfifi820]

UMDNJ-RWJ ... take that off the list. longest secondary mini essays on the face of the earth.
umdnj - njms also has essays, not as long though.

Boston University has optional essays only (though 1 is required if you're taking a gap year)

Am I wrong in remembering that Harvard had no essay?

Am I wrong in remembering that Harvard had no essay?

Nope, you're right. Harvard has no essay is you are a traditional applicant (otherwise you need to describe what you did in your time off), with nothing more to add to your application (optional essay), and who is applying only to Pathways. HST has a separate essay.
