<p>I would like my jr. D to fill out her applications and write her essays this summer, so she won't over stress in the fall. When will the essay questions be out, in general?</p>
<p>Most colleges start to post their essay questions in August, however some post near the beginning of August, and others post near the end, which is dangerously close to the start of the new school year. ;)</p>
<p>Ugh, why?! She has all of July to do it, but no time after that. If anyone has any suggestions on getting a jump start on essays before questions come out I would appreciate. Do some colleges keep the same questions?</p>
<p>The Common App essays are out, so she could work on that one. Don’t know where your dd is thinking of applying, but my understanding is that Georgetown has its own app (doesn’t take the Common App) and releases it in June.</p>
<p>Thanks. Is the common app essay for this year the same as it will be for next?</p>
<p>This year’s common app (which will be available in early August) has new essay questions that differ from those in years past. The “topic of choice” has been eliminated. Even though the common app is not yet available the new essay topics are. Son’s GC gave them out.</p>
