<p>I'm very unfamilliar with the admissions process... I know that stanford doesn't use the common Application, but... do the essay topics change each year? (or maybe nobody knows because I heard they had a new dean of admissions...?)</p>
<p>The essays generally don't change. You can probably check the Stanford admissions website to download a copy of the old application.</p>
<p>wait, so in like.. three years, it'd still be the same topic? O_O</p>
<p>Maybe. I'm pretty sure the essays have not changed in the last 4 years. If Stanford eventually adopts the common app they will probably change.</p>
<p>yeah, but i think stanford likes using their app... haven't they got a new dean of admissions recently, though?</p>
<p>Does anyone have an electronic copy of last year's app? Thanks, I can't find it online.</p>
<p>the essay topics for this year are already out. check stanford's website.</p>
<p>and yes, its the same as last years, and teh year before, and the year before that...</p>
<p>o...i never knew they even have a essay topic?!!!</p>
<p>ack. heh... so if i'm boreed enough i'll start brainstorming?</p>
<p>... nah, that's silly. (i'm still a hs gonna-be sophomore)</p>
