[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common App is posted Aug 1. While some kids I'm sure get their essays done in August I'm afraid that neither of mine did, despite much nagging on my part. PP is lucky to have had a perfect child. I did get them both to complete the fill in the blank part of the common app in August. But my DCs were both finishing supplemental essays on December 31. [/quote]

My DS got [i]two[/i] Common App essays done within a week of summer letting out (and then went off to decide which one to use), but he was extremely determined to not go to UMD. [/quote]

This year?? The prompts changed so much this year, and they dropped the open one, so it would have been very difficult to do them until the app was released Aug 1. 
 
To the PP asking about similarities -there were a few that could be tweaked to fit more than one school, but more that were very college specific. Schools like Wake Forest, Chicago and to a lesser extent UVA have some very unique questions. [/quote]
