Dave Berry offers some highlights from this year’s Common App release: https://www.collegeconfidential.com/articles/whats-new-in-the-common-app-this-year/
Does anyone know the status/cycle of essay prompts? My older D applied when the prompts were repeated from the previous year, which was very nice. I though they typically changed every 2 years, so my younger would see fresh ones 2 years from now, but also think I saw somewhere they had repeated for a 3rd year this year.
It seems that the preview button has been taking out of the Common App. Or it is just me. I am not seeing how to generate a pdf preview of the activities list etc. Am I missing something?
The Common Application (informally known as the Common App) is an undergraduate college admission application that applicants may use to apply to any of more than 800 member colleges and universities in 49 states and the District of Columbia, as well as in Canada, China, and many European countries.
Anyone?
@RichInPitt You’re correct that the 2015 and 2016 prompts were the same, and that this is the third year in a row that the Common App has been using the current set of prompts. They haven’t announced the cycle or whether the prompts will change next year, so it remains to be seen if the cycle continues on any schedule.
