Hey guys! I've started to brainstorm my college essays but I'm a bit stuck. Anybody know where I can find the updated essay prompts for the Class of 2025? I looked at some sites but they've got outdated prompts, and I want to make sure I'm tackling the right topics.
The Common App has already released the prompts for the 2024-2025 application cycle so you can check them either on the Common App's website or by logging into your Common App portal.
Apart from that, you can also see the supplemental essay prompts of individual colleges on their respective websites, under the admissions section. Colleges normally release their essay prompts by August (occasionally September) so everything should be live by now for you to access.
Additionally, CollegeVine provides a free online resource that not only gives you access to the updated essay prompts but also provides tips on how to approach them. The tool should give you a clearer direction about what admissions officers are looking for and how to approach each essay.
Remember, while it is valuable to start brainstorming and drafting early, it's also crucial to make sure you're responding to the correct prompts. So you're on the right track by seeking out the most accurate, updated information! Happy writing!
