2020-2021 Supplemental Essays
Looking for the newest supplemental essays? We’ve got you covered. Join us as we discuss what schools are expecting on the essay portion of your college application.
Colleges across the United States are releasing their supplemental essays in advance of the application deadlines. This will allow students to get a head start on their college applications. Applicants will need to work diligently on their essays to share information about their meaningful experiences, activities, leadership, community engagement, and intellectual experiences.
You might be asking yourself, should I still write an essay with the pandemic going on? The answer is- YES. Admissions officers want to see that you've done your research and can make a case for why you would be a fit for that school. At Brown University, for example "admissions officers ask students to “Tell us about an interest that excites you, and how you would use our Open Curriculum to pursue it." Cornell University asks applicants to respond to an essay question that corresponds to the school to which they are applying. The University of Chicago has the most creative supplemental questions. They offer seven options for the extended supplemental essay. One irrelevant question is, "What can be divided by zero?"
