<p>i keep thinking its University</a> of California - Admissions</p>
<p>but my friend said that the prompts change every year whereas i thought the prompts change every 2-3 years. anyone have insight about this?</p>
<p>Even if it does change, the general idea is still the same. I recommend writing it to catered idea for now, and once the new if there is new ones, tweak it to your satisfaction.</p>
<p>Yeah. Brainstorm now. Write a few unpolished drafts, work on the ideas you really like. When the application comes out you’ll probably go and tweak your essays a bit more, but the bulk of the work will be done.</p>
<p>And then you can be smug around everyone else that’s just started essay-writing. =)</p>
