bibiche Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Are the supplemental essays generally the same year to year at most schools? I thought we could start small with the supplemental stuff, but don’t want kid to waste time if they vary wildly year to year. When are they officially released anyway? On August 1?

Roadrunner Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 August 1st. I don’t know how often they change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Generally the same, but unpredictable. Some schools have already confirmed. Others have used the same ones for so long that it's a good bet. If a school has a "why this school" essay, that one is especially unlikely to change much if at all. Should be updated on August 1 when the CA opens for CA schools. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I've found honors colleges like to change theirs up, though that might just be luck of the draw for colleges I've helped with honors apps on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easypeasy Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 We made a spreadsheet and started with the "similar" or "combinable" essays, figuring even if one school changed it, it was likely another would have kept it. Worked out well - none of mine wrote a "useless" essay in the end. Agreeing with Farrar that honors colleges definitely seem to change up the essay prompts more frequently than the regular/supplemental essays. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
