I've been looking into University of Kentucky and I'm curious to know what the essay prompts are for their application. I want to make sure I put my best foot forward. Can someone provide me with the prompts or direct me to the right resources?
Unfortunately, it's hard to give a universal answer to this question, as recently there have been some years when University of Kentucky requires additional, school-specific essays, and others when they require only your main Common App essay. To be sure you know what all the requirements will be for you, check Kentucky's website, or their profile on the Common App, on August 1st before your senior year, as that's when any supplemental prompts for the coming applications season are released.
If there are any Kentucky-specific supplements, it's important to answer these prompts honestly and authentically. Show the admissions team who you are and what you're passionate about, and let your personality shine through so they can see exactly why you'd be such a good fit for their school.
Additionally, if you want help refining any of your essays, whether your personal statement or a school-specific supplement, consider utilizing CollegeVine's Free Peer Essay Review Tool, or submitting your essay for a paid review by an expert college admissions advisor through CollegeVine's marketplace. A more objective set of eyes can often help you identify any typos or grammatical errors, as well as give you a more objective sense of whether your ideas are coming across clearly.
Good luck with your application to Kentucky!
