For 2010 Hopefuls

<p>I was wondering for those of us who are juniors right now and want to get a head start on our applications when do colleges and the common app usually release their Fall 2009 App? Is it Spring 09 or summer 09?</p>

<p>I think it’s usually summer 09…like July or something.</p>

<p>The application questions will be the same. If you want to get a head start on writing common app essays during your junior year, it may not be a bad idea. If you’re thinking of applying to Stanford, I think they have the same supplement essays every year as well. I think mots schools change them up a little bit every year, though.</p>

<p>Most usually have questions like this:

  1. Why __________ University/College
  2. Why Engineering (if you’re applying to Engineering)
  3. Diversity
  4. Tell us who you are (I know, its a broad one).</p>
