에세이는 여름방학부터 준비를 하면 좋지만 
SAT공부를 아직 못 끝낸 학생들은 10월 시험 대비를 해야되기때문에 여름방학이 여유롭지만은 않을 것이다. 


SAT학원을 다니는 평일에는 어쩔 수 없지만 주말에는 본인이 그동안에 해왔던 활동이나 대회 경험 등을 쭉 정리를 해 보고 
에세이로 쓸만한 내용이 있는지 살펴보고 생각하는 시간을 가지면 좋겠다. 


올해 Common app의 에세이 주제는 

2018-2019 Common Application Essay Prompts

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. 

2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience? 

3. Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome? 

4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution. 

5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. 

6. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more? 

7. Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
