<p>My S is planning to apply EA to a few schools, so he'd like to start working on essays this summer when he has some free time. Does anyone know when colleges make available the essay questions for the supplemental apps. for the coming year? Also, does the common app. change from year to year?</p>
<p>Bump as these are good questions that could help a lot of juniors. I don’t know when typically supplemental and common apps become official for the following year’s class. </p>
<p>That said, I called two colleges that said that their supplemental essay(s) hasn’t changed in years. </p>
<p>The common app has so many essay options it really shouldn’t matter unless they kill the ‘write on a topic of your own’ essay.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as too early for the common app.</p>
<p>:]</p>
<p>I’ve already written my common app essay, since they don’t change often and will not change for next year. Supplements vary by school, I’ve heard anywhere from July to August</p>
<p>Just for reference, what are some typical year-to-year essay questions?</p>
<p>Supplement essay topics are up usually from July to August.
I wish good luck for your son!</p>
