<p>I just got an email from the Common App - we homeschool so I get the guidance counselor emails from them. Anyway, the email said the essay prompts will stay the same for next year. I realize most people on here now aren't thinking about next year's apps :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Interesting =). I (a junior) has been spending a little free time here and there filling in the application. Hoping to get a headstart.</p>
<p>Sweet, I should start drafting things early so I can enjoy my epic senior year(next year).</p>
<p>^^ You could at least start thinking about it, jotting down ideas, etc. whether you actually start drafting it. Then maybe start drafting it in the summer and have it nailed down before school starts 
Be sure to have somebody you trust - a parent, adult friend, teacher, etc. help you proof read your essay. And read it out loud! My d was amazed at how “off” some of her reading was after she read it out loud.</p>
<p>Best to both of you - enjoy the rest of junior year! :)</p>
<p>thank you for posting! i too am a junior, and this will be a huge help!</p>
<p>Ha! This is great! Now that my “senior” is all ready for college next year, I am focusing on my “junior”. I just googled “common app 2010-2011” and found your post! Now that we’re on a roll, we’ll just keep right on!! Good luck everyone:-)</p>
<p>HELLO! I’ve never posted on here, but have read many comments. Now I don’t know if anyone will actually see this. I was just on google and where you can ask questions, someone asked if anyone could read their college essay. I’m submitting my envelopes & Common App on Monday. I would LOVE it if I would find an adult on here that I could trust to read my essay. I gave it to my college counselor and he corrected three little mistakes. I don’t maybe he doesn’t like me and was too lazy to help me out even though it’s his JOB. You see my topic is dear to me and I think my essay is pretty good BUT it’s over 1500 words. Apparently it has to be 500??? I talk A LOT…in life AND on paper. PLEASE if someone sees this, I need an outside perspective. Someone who has done this before and is willing to help…FAST!!! THANK YOU. email me please!!! <a href="mailto:evashev93@yahoo.com">evashev93@yahoo.com</a></p>
