Having just finished up with D16 she found it disconcerting when a supplemental essay would “pop-up” in the Common App and I suspect that there are supplemental essays for some non common app schools. Usually topics are “Why “x” school” or “Why “x” major” but sometimes the essays are really abstruse and require a bit more research or work.
Do most schools change their supplemental essay topics from year to year or do they use a standard essay for several years before switching?
Does anyone have any advice on where to find supplemental essay topics without having to start an application?
Do you have any examples of supplemental essay topics that you have encountered?
