<p>Does anyone know if the questions on the Brown First Year Common App Supplement generally 1) change every year, 2) evolve year-to-year, or 3) get completely re-written, but not on an annual basis?</p>
<p>This is harder to answer than you would think. For decades, Brown had the exact same essays, year after year after year. Then, they changed them! For a couple of years, they used the same new ones. But the last 2-3 years they’ve used new prompts each year. </p>
<p>So, if you go by the most recent pattern, I’d say they get mostly rewritten each year and suggest you wait until the new supplement comes out. Which, if I remember from prior years, is pretty late in the summer.</p>
<p>(Although, if you are planning to concentrate in a STEM field, I think those supplemental essays have stayed pretty constant over the last few years.)</p>
<p>Thanks fireandrain – very helpful and much appreciated!</p>
