<p>is it that I'm just stupid enough not to find the essay topic</p>
<p>or did colleges not yet post the topic of the essay?</p>
<p>The essay topics are listed in the school's application. If they use the Common App, there's a standard set of topics in the Common App, and schools usually have one or two additional essays in their Common App supplement.</p>
<p>All of this should be available from the "admissions" section of their websites, though many schools have not posted their applications/supplements yet. (The 2007-8 Common App is up.)</p>
<p>The common app essays are up. And there is a thread that lists all the schools with apps up. The essay topics come with the apps.</p>
<p>wheres that thread?</p>
