<p>Year to year, have they remained pretty consistent? When are the prompts announced for the application cycle? </p>
<p>If you are talking about the essay prompts for the ND supplement,I don’t remember when they were announced, but I seem to remember some time mid-summer. They do change pretty significantly from year to year with one exception. There is always a “Why ND?” prompt and for the first time this year all applicants are required to answer this prompt, as well as two of the other four. If you are asking about the CA essay, the prompts are the same this year as they were last.</p>
