When are the common app supplements "open?"

Applying to College

<p>I'm a junior, and next year, October and November will be my busiest months due to ECs. Haha, great planning, I know. I'm also the kind of person who can write crap and think it's perfect, but three weeks later, realize that it is indeed crap. So I usually start my writing assignments in school early.</p>

<p>People have been telling me to get a head-start on my essays in the summer, and I would love to do that. I have access to both the UC questions and the "regular" common app essay question. However, I know that a bunch of schools require essays in their supplements. I'll be applying to around 10 schools so it'd not be a good idea to write ten essays in a couple of months for me.</p>

<p>I can't access these supplements on the common app because I'd have to "add" the schools, which I can't because their deadlines have passed.</p>

<p>So, does anyone know when you're allowed to view supplements again? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Last year, the Common App closed June 1 and went live July 1. I expect it to do the same this year for those applying for Fall 2009 admission.</p>

<p>Therefore, July 1 would be the answer.</p>

<p>However, supplemental essays for colleges weren't all out at that time. Start with your common app essay. It's just the ususal, tell about an experience a person, blah, blah, blah. Just write a strong essay about somehting that sets you apart.</p>

<p>Can you/somebody please tell more about the essays? As to when essays for UC schools, colleges like Stanford, MIT, Princeton, UPenn, etc will be out? I meant for fall 2009 application process.</p>
