When will the 2005 application be available? I've signed up on the mailing list for it and have not received it yet. Also, on the website, they still have the 2004 application up. I want to get started on the essays now. Will they be the same essays from the 2004 app? Has anyone gotten the app yet and know what the questions are? Thanks.

common app.

Yeah, all the essay questions and stuff are in the common app. The supplement really adds very little extra info, so if you do the common app on line, you'll have around 80% of it done.

I got the application book a little while ago:

2 short essays of about 500 words each:the Common App's Personal Statement and a second essay that expands your response to the short answer (pg app-4)of common app. To fulfill the second essay reqirement, write about an interest or activity that has been especially meaningful to you (write full name and birthdate at top of separate page, btw)

Does Yale use the Common App exclusively like Harvard and Cornell? Also, does Princeton use it exclusively or do they have their own application? Thanks.

Yale is using it exclusively, and Princeton is not

Does that second essay have to be in addition to the response to the short answer on the common app (on the same topic), or instead of?
