Essay prompts
The Common App personal essay is required (one of 7 shared prompts), plus 1 college-specific supplement:
- The transition from middle to high school is a key time for students as they reach new levels of both academic and personal discovery. Please share a book (novel, non-fiction, etc.) that had a serious impact on you during this time. Please focus more on why this book made an impact on you and less on the plot/theme of the book itself (we are not looking for a book report).300 words · Required
