<li>Do all colleges ask the same of similar questions?</li>
<li>How long are the essays?</li>
<li>What was the essay question of the college you applied to?</li>
</ol>
<p>most colleges ask the same question, especially for transfer students. They usually ask you to describe yourself.</p>
<p>usually they ask you to write about 500 words (and this is the requirement for every essay I have seen).</p>
<p>some of the prompts I came across were:</p>
<p>write about your favorite book, choose three people dead or alive to have dinner with, and something else based off an excerpt they had. I chose the first one, and got in.</p>
<p>Then the two other school basically wanted two essays. Why do you want to go here and describe yourself. There wasn't much of a prompt, but that was for transfer anyway.</p>
