Hello! I'm working on my college applications and I was wondering if anyone knows the current Indiana University essay prompt. I couldn't find it online and I want to start brainstorming ideas. Thanks in advance!
Hello! For the current application cycle, Indiana University requires you to respond to the following essay prompt:
"Describe your academic and career plans and any special interests (for example, undergraduate research, academic interests, leadership opportunities, etc.) that you are eager to pursue as an undergraduate at Indiana University. Also, if you encountered any unusual circumstances, challenges, or obstacles in pursuit of your education, you may share those experiences and how you overcame them. (200-400 words)"
This prompt allows you to showcase your academic and career aspirations as well as any unique interests or experiences you've had. Start by brainstorming your goals and how IU can help you achieve them, considering the specific resources and opportunities available at the university. Also, reflect on any challenges you've faced and how you've grown or learned from these experiences. Best of luck with your application!
