<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I just had a pretty quick question..
how are you all getting the essay topics for each school?
i was looking at northwestern and it seems like its not out yet.. or is just me not being able to find it..
i know that the common application ones come out in aug 1 but are the supplements on the common apps too? and do they come out on aug1?
please let me k now!</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>You can find most of them (most don’t change year-to-year), but any of them that change based on the year or you can’t find you’ll have to wait for August 1st. </p>
<p>Try searching (using Northwestern as an example): “Northwestern University Supplemental Essay” you should find the prompt</p>
<p>oh ok!
thank you!
but how do u know if they change year-toyear?</p>
<p>What schools are you looking at OP?</p>
<p>i was looking at nu, uiuc, nyu, bc, bu, university of wisconsin madison, and cmu</p>
<p>I’m not familiar with any of those schools’ supplements, so I don’t know if they change year to year. Generally, though, you can tell by the questions you see on the previous year’s supplements. Questions like “Why do you want to attend this college” and “Describe a moral dilemma” generally don’t change year to year, while some less conventional questions like “Don’t write about reverse psychology” tend to change around a bit.</p>
<p>I don’t think BC has supplement essay</p>
<p>ahh… ok thanks everyone! :D</p>
<p>This was helpful thank you! The CommonApp and college admissions in general are so confusing!</p>
