Hi everyone! I'm currently working on my University of Washington application and I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with the essay prompts. Are they known to change from year to year? What should I expect when I get to that section of the application? Thanks for any help!
Hello! While UW's prompts may change slightly from year-to-year, they generally address similar themes that reflect the university's values and priorities. You can check out the prompts for this year, as well as breakdowns of how to tackle each one, on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-washington-essays/.
Overall, when approaching these essay prompts, be authentic, reflective, and thoughtful in your responses. Demonstrate your genuine desire to contribute to the UW community through your own unique strengths. It's important to not only show off your achievements, but also let your personality shine through.
Also remember that CollegeVine offers both free peer essay reviews and paid reviews by expert college admissions advisors. Both resources can help you take your essay to the next level, as sometimes a second, more objective set of eyes is just what you need to iron out the last few kinks.
I hope this information helps! Best of luck with your application, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
