[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What were the essay prompts before they pulled them?[/quote]

We all contribute to, and are influenced by, the communities that are meaningful to us. Share how you’ve been shaped by one of the communities you belong to. 
Remember that this essay is about you and your lived experience.

Define community in the way that is most meaningful to you. Some examples of community you might choose from are: family, school, shared interest, virtual, local, global, cultural[/quote]

Oh thank goodness.  We certainly don't want to know anything about an applicant's attitude or relationship to various communities.  I mean do they think a college campus is a community or something?  Do they think that a college campus exists in a larger community or something ?  Oh heck no .  Thank goodness they got rid of that one.[/quote]

Those types of essays are a waste of time, especially in this era of AI.[/quote]

Oh yeah, because kids are incapable of thinking about their communities and their relationship to their communities.   They better just let AI tell them about their all lives.[/quote]
