If you know you will be applying for colleges and universities in the Fall, set up your Common App account beginning August 1, to streamline the process later. Also, see the Essay Prompts article below.

Every year on August 1, Common App launches its refreshed application with updated information. Fortunately, students don’t have to wait until then to begin planning their application.

Common App Account Rollover is a college planning tool that allows students to create an account when they are ready to explore the application. Students can add key information to their accounts and roll over most of that information when the new application year begins on August 1. This could be a time-saving solution for students who are considering multiple college options or looking to get a head start on their college planning.

Common App announced that the 2023-2024 essay prompts will remain the same. Past research shows that overall satisfaction with the prompts remains high among students, counselors, and member colleges. Moving forward, we want to learn more about who is choosing certain prompts to see if there are any noteworthy differences among student populations.

We hope that by sharing the prompts now, students will have the time they need to reflect on their own personal stories and begin thinking about what they want to share with colleges. As you assist students with their planning, feel free to share our essay prompts video on approaching the essay.
