Hi,
I'm starting to do my college applications, and I am going to graduate 2008, so Iv'e been looking at the college essays and I wanted to know if the topics are updated, meaning are they the topics from class 07 or are they new??? How would I no that?
Well for the common app essays, the topics are always the same. However, some schools like UChicago, JHU, and UVA change their essay topics every year. You can expect that most colleges will have the "Why us?" essay every year so that will be the same. The only way to really know is to find a paper copy of the 07 app and look at the essay topics comparing them to this year's topics.
