[quote=Anonymous]PP above. Basically, students can come up with one main essay that works for most schools. It's great to do this summer before senior year. The Common App opens officially August 1, so August is a good time to start filling it in. Supplementals will often include some variation of "Why School X?" It's not worth pre-writing those, but as the student learns about schools, it's helpful for them to take notes about special programs, extracurriculars, etc., that make that school appealing for them. Some supplementals are random ("What’s your favorite way to eat a potato?") and can just be done as the student completes the application for that school. FWIW, with the common app filled in and a main essay ready to go, our senior could do one application (including supplemental essays) every weekend over the fall without too much stress.[/quote]
