<p>I'm posting this for a friend who won't have Internet access for a few weeks.</p>
<p>Could someone post the essay topics/prompts for her, please? A couple of weeks is a lot of time to miss out on working on essays.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Biographical Essay
We are interested in learning more about you and the context in which you have grown up, formed your aspirations and accomplished your academic successes. Please describe the factors and challenges that have most shaped your personal life and aspirations. How have these factors caused you to grow? (800 word limit)***</p>
<p>this is the only one I have right now</p>
<p>It’s not letting us move on. We have to submit the first essay before we can see the next one.</p>
<p>Your question about essays was answered here by jacobo2880: </p>
<p>On the 2010 questbridge app, first is the Personal background which you have to write. The prompt says:</p>
<p>“We are interested in learning more about you and the context in which you have grown up, formed your aspirations and accomplished you academic successes. Please describe the factors and challenged that have most shaped your personal life and aspirations. How have these factors caused you to grow? 800 word limit?”</p>
<p>Then there is essays # and there are three prompts (you choose one):</p>
<ol>
<li>Describe an experience that you have had or a concept you have learned about that intellectually excites you. When answering this question, you may want to consider some of the following questions: WHy does this topic excite you? How does it impact the way you or others experience the world? What questtions do you continue to ponder about it? 500 word limit"</li>
<li>“If you could change one thing about your community, what would it be and why? 500 word limit”</li>
<li>“A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your background, please describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter thhat demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. 500 word limit”</li>
</ol>
<p>Then there is Essay #2 with only one prompt:</p>
<p>“Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you. 500 word limit”

<p>My friend thanks you all! She didn’t expect such quick responses.</p>
<p>@Butters: I don’t believe the app is any different from last year…you have to put something in the essay field to move on to the next page (and there will be a warning if it’s less than 100 words), but until you hit “submit,” at the end of the app (not just save for each page), you can go back and add to/edit your essays. So the essay doesn’t really have to be “done” to go on to the next page.</p>
<p>Anyone actually go on to the short answers and then go back and edit the first essay this year?</p>
<p>And these essay questions are still good for the 2011 app.</p>
<p>Thank you so much @scoutsmom!</p>
