<p>This is probably really stupid - but is the common application for the upcoming graduating class (2015) available online?
The essays specifically?</p>
<p>The common app essays are the same as last year and a lot of schools have released their essays for next year on their own sites, but the 2014-2015 application is not live yet, so current college specific essays may not be correct.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>@BurningBlaze it depends on which colleges you are interested in. </p>
<p>@CaliGW here are the common app essay prompts pick 1:</p>
<pre><code>Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn?
Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

<p>Minimum of 250 words. Maximum 650 words. </p>
<p>The common app opens for class of 2015 on August 1. You are only allowed to edit your essay 3x on the common app website so you might want to start writing a draft now. </p>
<p>I know for a fact that UPenn’s and UChicago’s are out because they sent me emails and I started writing mine. I know that some other ones are out but I can’t think of them off the top of my head. What colleges are you interest in @BurningBlaze </p>
<p>@BurningBlaze and the names of these schools are…</p>
<p>@tola2015 actually you can edit the essay as many times as you want in between submissions, but you can only submit three different versions. Say you send version A to school 1. You then edit it twice. You can send version C to school 2. Say you edit it 4 more times, then you can send version G to school 3. It doesnt matter how many times you edit, just how many times you submit.</p>
