Common Application Essay Prompts
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.
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?
3. Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
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?
7. Share an essay on any 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.
Regular Decision: Internal Deadline for submitting documents is two weeks before school holidays. This deadline is to ensure that we have enough buffer time to solve any glitches that come up before all teachers and counselors break for the holidays. Students can continue to work on their Common App essays; however, the documents that need to be submitted on Cialfo must be done two weeks before school holidays. It may be impossible to reach teachers and staff once the holidays start and students should not leave things until the last minute. The best prepared students are usually the most successful applicants.
Form 6 applicants should refer to the detailed deadlines list handed out during the annual March briefing.
