Just wanted to drop a little reminder here for those of you suffering with the supplemental question essay portion of the common application. The supplemental questionnaire is designed to give schools a peek inside of you. While these are not long essays, they are a great opportunity for you to show the schools you are applying to something that they cannot find in the standard application info. The best part is that they give you a little guidance on what to write about, but you have some freedom on how you respond to them. So, do yourself a favor and spend some time here making sure that what you write is what you want them to read. This is also not a place for you to give simple or one word answers. Time to be creative.
If you are interested, the Personal Statement Blueprint has a bonus this year in that I have included my Supplemental Questionnaire Blueprint for free to users. There are tons of tips and strategies on how to respond to the prompts found in the Common Application supplements. Either way, take your time and give them something to remember you by!
