Hello! I’m a junior in high school and I want to know if now is the best time to start writing, and where do I find out what prompts are used for the specific colleges I am interested in?
Thanks in advance!
I would focus more on test scores/prepping and grades in 11th grade. Worry about essays at the end of junior year and that coming summer.
You can find the essays for Common App just through googling it and probably the same is true for other applications, but I don’t know if they are planning on changing it. Best work on researching your colleges now and leave the writing until you are certain what the essays are on. If you are particularly interested in beginning writing, just glance through past essay prompts and write really general essays. That way, when you know the actual prompts, you can just edit the existing essays rather than starting from scratch.
I’m actually an intern for this website where, basically, you can read essays from students who have been accepted to high ranking colleges like Cornell. You can also buy their profiles which means that they’ll actually give you advice on how to write your essay. Since it’s a peer-to-peer website, you know you can more easily connect with these students. You should think about it! Remember to use my referral code: sharonyo
Good luck on your college journey!!
