<p>I am a senior at my high school and just decided to postpone my college applications to next year mainly because of the military service requirement and procrastination (2 months is not a lot of time to work on college apps). I have already worked on applications and essays for some of the colleges that I was going to apply, but since I am applying for a different year, will the essay prompts be different? Also, when will the commonapp and the individual online applications be available? I want to finish them before I graduate and maybe work on them over the winter and spring breaks.</p>
<p>2010 applications will generally be released in July or August 2009. </p>
<p>No one knows if the prompts will be different, especially not on the supplements.</p>
<p>In all likelihood, the prompts for the Common App essays will be the same next year.</p>
<p>However, don't actually fill out the Common Application online, because your account will be deleted at the end of this admissions season.</p>
