<p>You have a choice;

  1. Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
  2. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
  3. Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
  4. Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.
  5. A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.
  6. Topic of your choice.</p>

<p>Here’s a preview of the app along with topics:

<p>Wuhhhhht? I thought it wasn’t finalized until August 1st? Are these, like, not the real essays? Or am I mistaken and they’ve already been released? Hmmm…</p>

<p>These are kind of guide titles for your essay, it’s the same for every year I think…</p>

<p>the website says that the application packet will be available starting august 1st.</p>

<p>anybody have any idea whether the essay topics remain the same?</p>

<p>The essay topics will be the same as last year for the Common Application. Keep in mind, however, that colleges may - and often do - update the essay questions on their supplements from year to year.</p>
