<p>just wondering in order to get a headstart on them</p>
<p>No. Stanford's going to common app, right? Lucky 2012 kids...</p>
<p>really? sweeet</p>
<p>The common app can still have a supplement so it's possible that they'd still have the four essay questions. The long essay can be turned into a common app essay (since the topic is basically write whatever you want to write about anyway), the activity essay is on the common app, so that would just mean that they would add two short answer questions. And they're good questions. So maybe?</p>
<p>what about for SCEA?</p>
<p>Are they going exclusively commonapp?</p>
<p>pwn3r: If they're a commonapp school, they can use commonapp for the early action too. If they let you pick between the commonapp and their application, I'd go with theirs because I feel it's a lot more thorough. The more space you get to express yourself with the better.</p>
<p>Yeah, Stanford's app is more thorough (even if trying to finish it one day before the deadline is akin to pulling teeth sans anaesthetic, I speak from experience). It's also slightly easier to navigate; the only pain, of course, is the fact that you'll have to re-enter details and whatnot. </p>
<p>And they've had their photograph essay topic for yonks, haven't they? I doubt they'd can it now.</p>
