以下是 2023-24 年的全套 Common App 文书提示。
有些学生拥有非常有意义的背景、身份、兴趣或才能,他们认为如果没有这些,他们的申请将是不完整的。如果这听起来像你,那么请分享你的故事。
我们从遇到的障碍中吸取的教训可能是日后成功的基础。重述一次你面临挑战、挫折或失败的经历。它是如何影响你的,你从这次经历中学到了什么?
回想一下您质疑或挑战信念或想法的时间。是什么激发了你的想法?结果是什么?
回忆某人为你所做的事情,这些事情让你感到高兴或以令人惊讶的方式感激不尽。这种感激之情如何影响或激励你?
讨论激发个人成长和对自己或他人的新认识的成就、事件或认识。
描述一个你觉得非常吸引人以至于让你忘记时间的话题、想法或概念。它为什么让你着迷?当你想了解更多信息时,你会向什么或谁求助?
分享一篇关于你选择的任何主题的文章。它可以是你已经编写的,可以回答不同题目的,也可以是你自己设计的。
CommonApp还将在附加信息部分保留可选的 COVID-19 问题。
COVID-19 以截然不同的方式影响了学生。如果你需要,可以在附加信息部分的 COVID-19 和自然灾害问题中描述这些事件的影响。
这个问题不需要成为一篇额外的文章。也无需描述你的学校如何应对这些事件。 你的辅导员将有机会讨论关闭、在线教学和评分政策等影响。相反,请考虑这些事件如何影响你、你的家人和你的学习环境。 例如可能包括:
- 你的家庭或支持网络中的疾病或损失
- 家庭中的就业或住房中断
- 粮食不安全
- 对心理和情绪健康的影响
- 新义务,例如兼职工作或照顾兄弟姐妹或家庭成员
- 继续学习所需的计算机或互联网访问的可用性
- 进入安全安静的学习空间
- 你的专业或职业兴趣的新方向
这些题目与2022-2023的主文书题目没有变化,大家可以开始上工啦!
Below is the full set of Common App essay prompts for 2023-24.
- 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.
- 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?
- Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
- Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?
- Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
- 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?
- 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.
We will also retain the optional COVID-19 question within the Additional Information section.
COVID-19 has affected students in dramatically different ways. If you need it, the COVID-19 and natural disaster question in the Additional Information section is a place for you to describe the impact of these events.
The question is not intended to be an extra essay. There's also no need to describe how your school responded to these events. Your counselor will have an opportunity to discuss impacts like closures, online instruction, and grading policies. Instead, consider how these events may have impacted you, your family, and your learning environment. Examples might include:
- Illness or loss within your family or support network
- Employment or housing disruptions within your family
- Food insecurity
- Toll on mental and emotional health
- New obligations such as part-time work or care for siblings or family members
- Availability of computer or internet access required to continue your studies
- Access to a safe and quiet study space
- A new direction for your major or career interests
