Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

I am looking at the Common App essay prompts right now. It says in [url = <a href=“http://www.commonapp.org/whats-appening/application-updates/common-application-announces-2017-2018-essay-prompts%5Dthis%5B/url”>http://www.commonapp.org/whats-appening/application-updates/common-application-announces-2017-2018-essay-prompts]this[/url] blog post that there should be 2 new prompts:

  1. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more? [New]
  2. Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design. [New]

However, I don’t see those prompts when I view them in my Common App account. Am I missing something?

The application hasn’t been updated for the new year as of yet. See the above link for more information.
