[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In previous years, DeanJ had posted essays in the blog early but nothing yet. I haven’t been regularly watching her lives - has UVA confirmed essays?

DC is also done with common app so just focusing on supplemental for the rest of summer. Not currently working in priority order because top two schools they currently like haven’t posted yet[/quote]Reading between the lines, admissions doesn’t set them anymore. She’s mentioned that more people are involved.

That seems likely since the word “race” is included in last year’s. Still, shouldn’t they have already been uploaded to common app since it opens next week? You’d think they’d be able to share them on the blog now if they wanted to.[/quote]
Looking back, the change was two years ago. https://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2023/07/2023-2024-uva-writing-prompts.html

Confession: I really liked last year's writing prompts. We had only been reading applications for a few days when I first marveled at how well students were expressing themselves in the new short answer portion of our application. During one of my live q&a sessions on Instagram, I wondered if students being able to write meaningful, concise statements was a function of growing up writing captions on social media...something for people to study one day!

In the past, a few admission officers have met to go over feedback about the application essays to see if we should tweak the writing prompts. This year, we had a lot more input during the update process. The change is pretty big: most applicants will answer one prompt for the UVA portion of the Common App. Those applying to the School of Nursing will answer two. [/quote][/quote]
