However, I can still help! The 2023-2024 Common Application essay prompts are:
Option 1: Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
Option 2: The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Option 3: Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your questioning? What did you learn?
Option 4: Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
Option 5: Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a significant personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
Option 6: Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
Option 7: Share an essay on a topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
Remember: These are just the prompts; they're not topics to be used as is. Think about your experiences and choose the prompt that best allows you to showcase your unique personality and story.
