Colleges with no supplemental essays, 2026-27

108 of the 267 colleges we track ask for no supplemental essays this cycle: you submit the application and the personal statement, and the writing is done. That makes these the cheapest schools to add to a list, and it puts the whole writing signal on one essay.

As reported on each school’s own admissions page, read August 2026. A college can add a prompt mid-cycle, so check the school’s page (linked from ours) before you treat this list as final.

For the other side of the question, how many prompts and how many words the colleges with supplements ask for, see how many supplemental essays colleges require, and for when each application is due, see the Early Decision and Early Action deadlines.
