We are happy to announce that the Common App essay prompts will remain the same for 2025–2026. Based on positive feedback from students, counselors, teachers, and colleges, we've decided to keep the essay prompts unchanged. Students will also see two changes to the optional “Additional information” questions as of August 1, 2025. First, the current “Community disruption” question will be updated to a “Challenges and circumstances” question to capture a broader range of impacts students may experience. Second, the “Additional information” question word limit will be reduced. By sharing these updates now, students will have the time they need to reflect on their personal stories and begin thinking about what they want to share with colleges. Feel free to use our essay writing resource, available in both English and Spanish, and our video tutorial  breaking down each essay prompt.
