Be Careful with Common App Writing Prompts

The Common Application for 2014-15 has been released for an entire month. For students who are working on the Common App, how can you be sure that you have filled in every required question?

One area students may be especially concerned with are the application essays. On the Common App, there are 2 types of writing questions which students need to look out for.

The first type of writing questions are the required questions. The second type of questions are the conditional questions.

Conditional questions may or may not show up depending on your earlier responses on the application. These conditional questions are usually related to a specific college major or program.

To make sure that you can complete your college application on time, start early and meticulously take note of every writing sample required from you. For additional tips on the Common App, you can check out the Common App blog below.
