The Common Application announced today that it will retain the same essay prompts for 2014-15! That’s good news for students. Typically students have had to wait until August to know what the prompts will be. This way students can get an earlier start. That said, it’s too soon for juniors to be working on the essay — but not too soon to think about them. Take a look at the list now then tuck it away until June or July.
Here’s the statement in full — including the list of essay prompts – from Scott Anderson, Senior Director for Policy for the Common Application:
THE COMMON APPLICATION RECEIVES POSITIVE RESPONSE ON ESSAY PROMPTS
Essay Prompts Successfully Support Holistic Selection Process
ARLINGTON, VA – FEBRUARY 11, 2014 – After a positive response from Common Application member colleges and school counselors, The Common Application will retain the current set of first-year essay prompts for 2014-15, without any edits or additions. The essay length will continue to be capped at 650 words.
In February of 2013, The Common Application Board of Directors unveiled five new essay prompts, the first major revision in several years. The prompts were the culmination of several years of discussion about the role writing plays in a holistic selection process and were designed with the assistance of 15 counselors on the association’s Outreach Advisory Committee, who worked diligently to ensure that all applicants, regardless of background or access to counseling, would have the chance to tell their unique stories.
Reaction so far among college admission officers and counselors suggests that the revisions are having the desired outcome. “I love the new prompts—and not just because they are new,” says Terry Cowdrey, Vice President and Dean of Admission and Financial Aid at Colby College. “I think we are learning more about students.” Karen Felton, Director of Admission at The George Washington University agrees, saying "I enjoy the new prompts because they allow students to focus more on what they feel is important for colleges to know about them."
In a recent survey, nearly 70% of Common Application member colleges and 90% of school counselors indicated that the prompts are effective in helping students represent themselves to colleges. The Common Application has committed to reviewing the essay prompts on an annual basis to ensure they continue to serve students and member colleges well.
The essay prompts are as follows:
The workshop is for Middle school and high school students.
Students will learn, through the workshop, how to
write using their 5 senses
create/invent characters
