Do supplement essays change?

<p>Does Yale's secondary essay and question prompts change year to year or does it stay the same (letter-for-letter or as a general idea)?</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior hoping to get a head-start on college essays, which is why I ask.</p>

<p>Here is the 2009-2010 application with the essay/questions on page 2:
<a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/pdf/yale_supplement_paper.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/pdf/yale_supplement_paper.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’ll just say I hope not because i have a good topic for that essay! However, I’m on the same ship as you, I honestly have no clue.</p>

<p>Compared to 2008-2009, two questions changed. I would suggest waiting for the new form before tackling the short answer questions. The Common App imposes its own length limitations on the responses, too, so you should probably wait until the supplement is available on there. The constraints were somewhat severe, IIRC.</p>
