How To Answer The 5 Most Common Ivy League Supplemental Essay Prompts
With the Common App officially open, motivated seniors are already assembling their application materials. Some of the most critical components of Ivy League and other top college applications are the essays, which let students speak directly to admissions officers in their own voice. Though many students primarily focus their energy on the Common App personal statement, supplemental essays are just as important for showcasing fit and strengthening a student's candidacy. While the personal statement allows students to share about themselves, their backgrounds, and their experiences, the supplemental essays are written in response to school-specific prompts and give applicants a valuable opportunity to illustrate how their distinct qualities make them an ideal fit for the university through tailored writing. Given that some schools have a considerable number of supplemental essay prompts (Yale requires students to respond to a whopping eight questions, seven short-answer and one longer essay), students should dedicate ample time to brainstorming, drafting, and revising. While drafting so many essays may seem like a daunting task, the good news is that many of these prompts follow recognizable patterns. Identifying recurring categories of questions can allow students to strategize and craft responses that are specific, memorable, and cohesive. Here are five of the most popular types of prompts at Ivy League schools this year: 1. The 'Why Our School' Question Brown University: In one sentence, Why Brown? (50 words) Dartmouth College: As you seek admission to Dartmouth's Class of 2030, what aspects of the college's academic program, community, and/or campus environment attract your interest? How is Dartmouth a good fit for you? (100 words or fewer) Columbia University: Why are you interested in attending Columbia University? We encourage you to consider the aspect(s) that you find unique and compelling about Columbia. (150 words or fewer)* One of the most common—and most important—types of supplemental essay, the 'why this school' essay requires students to clearly and directly communicate why they want to attend a particular institution. The key to answering this type of supplemental essay prompt is specificity. In the limited word count, applicants must convey their unique interest in the school and demonstrate that the institution is the ideal place for them to pursue their academic and professional goals. The first step to crafting an eye-catching response is research. Students should look at faculty bios and publications, read program news pages, and identify student-led organizations, clubs, and extracurricular opportunities that align with their interests. Additionally, personal anecdotes from a college visit—such as an impactful conversation with a current student or a positive experience while sitting in on a class—can make the essay more authentic and unique. Finally, students should avoid vague praise about the rigor or prestige of the institution. The admissions committee knows that their school is great—they want to know why it's great for you. 2. The Disagreement Essay Columbia University: At Columbia, students representing a wide range of perspectives are invited to live and learn together. In such a community, questions and debates naturally arise. Please describe a time when you did not agree with someone and discuss how you engaged with them and what you took away from the interaction. (150 words or fewer) Harvard University: Describe a time when you strongly disagreed with someone about an idea or issue. How did you communicate or engage with this person? What did you learn from this experience?* (150 words) Yale University: Reflect on a time you discussed an issue important to you with someone holding an opposing view. Why did you find the experience meaningful? In asking this question, admissions committees want to understand how a prospective student will contribute to their school's vibrant and diverse academic community. Students should demonstrate two primary qualities: confidence and open-mindedness. First, they should show conviction in their beliefs, establishing that they can bring a dynamic perspective to dialogues on campus. At the same time, students should exhibit open-mindedness—college is a time to encounter diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and worldviews. This essay should show that a student is teachable and willing to investigate their own beliefs as they seek to grow and mature as people and thinkers. This is a space for applicants to showcase nuance, so it is best to avoid writing about something trivial or cliche (such as whether pancakes or waffles are better or the meaning of life). While the topic doesn't have to be world-changing, it should convey something meaningful about who the applicant is, what they value, and how they think. 3. The 'Nerd Out' Prompt Dartmouth College: Celebrate your nerdy side. (250 words or fewer) Yale University: Tell us about a topic or idea that excites you and is related to one or more academic areas you selected above. Why are you drawn to it? (200 words or fewer) The Ivy League schools are not only academically rigorous, but they are also seeking students who are genuinely passionate about learning. The liberal arts curricula at schools like Dartmouth, Brown, and Columbia offer students a wealth of opportunities to explore subjects outside of their major, while Harvard's highly traditional academic environment pushes students to excel in gaining knowledge of their field. The most important quality to showcase in this essay is curiosity. While applicants can write about the subject they intend to study, this prompt can also provide an opportunity to demonstrate curiosity outside of one's primary academic interests. Students might choose to write about a subject that unexpectedly intersects with their field of study or that is distinct from it entirely. Regardless of the topic they choose, applicants should use the essay to illustrate how they take an active part in their own learning and are motivated by a genuine desire to grow as thinkers. 4. The Community & Diversity Question Cornell University: We all contribute to, and are influenced by, the communities that are meaningful to us. Share how you've been shaped by one of the communities you belong to. Remember that this essay is about you and your lived experience. Define community in the way that is most meaningful to you. Some examples of communities you might choose from include: family, school, shared interest, virtual, local, global, cultural. (350 word limit) Princeton University: Princeton values community and encourages students, faculty, staff and leadership to engage in respectful conversations that can expand their perspectives and challenge their ideas and beliefs. As a prospective member of this community, reflect on how your lived experiences will impact the conversations you will have in the classroom, the dining hall or other campus spaces. What lessons have you learned in life thus far? What will your classmates learn from you? In short, how has your lived experience shaped you? (500 words or fewer) University of Pennsylvania: How will you explore community at Penn? Consider how Penn will help shape your perspective, and how your experiences and perspective will help shape Penn. (150-200 words) Many top schools introduced community and diversity prompts such as these in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action. In lieu of demographic data, these questions provide an open format in which students can reflect on their backgrounds and experiences, tying these aspects of their identity to their future contributions on campus. Some students may choose to define community in a more traditional way here, writing about their racial or ethnic background, religious community, or geographic region, while others might choose to highlight a more unconventional community they are a part of, such as a Scrabble club or affinity group. However an applicant chooses to define community, their response should connect their identity to the tangible ways they intend to enrich their future collegiate communities. When answering this prompt, students should ask themselves: How does my background equip me to bring something unique to my future college campus? 5. The Rapid-Fire List Brown University: What three words best describe you? (3 words) Columbia University: List a selection of texts, resources and outlets that have contributed to your intellectual development outside of academic courses, including but not limited to books, journals, websites, podcasts, essays, plays, presentations, videos, museums and other content that you enjoy. (100 words or fewer) Harvard University: Top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you. Finally, one of the most simple yet challenging supplemental essay prompts is the 'rapid-fire list.' These short answer questions require students to respond to a question with a simple list of items. Because students are not given the space to expound on their answers, they should select items that are creative and unique. Though the questions do not require extensive drafting, students should dedicate time and effort to brainstorming answers that will convey new information about their personalities and passions. The supplemental essays are a critical opportunity for students to share their voice and expound on their candidacy. With time and strategic planning, these essays can highlight students' unique qualities to admissions officers and distinguish them from thousands of others in the competitive admissions process.

Part of Delta Air Lines 737's wing breaks off during flight
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a flap on a Boeing 737's wing partially broke off before landing in Texas on Tuesday. Delta Air Lines Flight 1893 was flying from Orlando International to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport when passengers noticed something had partially broken away from the back of the wing. 'We felt it was bad turbulence. The plane was shaking,' passenger Shanila Arif told CNN. 'The lady in front of us opened the window and told us it is broken. I opened the window and got scared.' Video recorded by Arif showed the flap dangling behind the wing, as the plane flew at hundreds of miles an hour thousands of feet in the air. She worried if the piece completely broke off it could hit the tail of the aircraft and cause a crash. After landing 'it was observed that a portion of the left wing's flap was not in place,' Delta Air Lines said in a statement. 'The aircraft has been taken out of service for maintenance.' Flaps are surfaces on the back of the wing designed to be extended for takeoff and landing. 'We apologize to our customers for their experience as nothing is more important than the safety of our people and customers,' the airline said. There were 62 passengers and six crew members onboard the plane. No one was injured. Delta pledged to fully cooperate with the FAA investigation.

2 Signs ‘Decision Fatigue' Is Killing Your Love Life, By A Psychologist
Modern dating should, for many reasons, be easier than it's ever been. With so many different places to find love, and so many tips and tricks to use while searching for it, intuition might lead you to believe it's a seamless process. Reality, however, consistently proves otherwise. One of many reasons for this could be 'decision fatigue.' Derived from classic research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, this concept refers to the mental depletion we experience after making too many choices. In the context of romance, decision fatigue arises when the seemingly convenient abundance of avenues for finding a partner start to, ironically, backfire. Here's two signs that you could be experiencing this in your love life. 1. Avoidance Feels Easier Than Engagement Whether you're conscious of it or not, even the most inconsequential decision demands a portion of your limited and invaluable cognitive resources. Each choice on what to eat, what to wear, how to spend your free time and who to spend it with costs something within you. Psychologist Roy Baumeister, who popularized the term decision fatigue, explored this in a 2005 study. 'Has the proliferation of choice uniformly made life easier and better?' he asks. Ultimately, according to his review of research, it hasn't. He explains, 'Choice, to the extent that it requires greater decision-making among options, can become burdensome and ultimately counterproductive.' In this sense, when you've spent all day making decisions at work and at home, you're left with significantly less capacity for thoughtful engagement in other areas of life. In turn, we resort to using quick mental shortcuts in these secondary areas, like dating. Given the rapid expansion and modernization of the dating pool and industry, our decisions are no longer limited to simply picking a good outfit and restaurant for a first date. We have to choose which dating app to use, which photos to upload and which of the countless people to 'swipe right' on. Then, we still need to choose how to engage and connect with these potential partners. We have to write thoughtful text messages, anticipate all the possible responses we could receive, choose all the 'right' words, as well as still decide whether or not they're worth pursuing. These various decisions, along with their varying outcomes, can become incredibly overwhelming in a cognitive sense. As a result, when the brain slowly but surely becomes depleted from them, it often convinces us to opt for less demanding actions — that is, inaction. This exhaustion might lead you to leave texts unanswered for days, as the effort of choosing how to respond feels burdensome. You might delay confirming dates and times for dates simply due to how taxing they can feel. And sometimes, you might even ghost potential partners altogether. Despite knowing how negatively your dodging and disengaging may come across as, it still beats the exhaustion that comes with decision-making. However, despite the energy you save, you also deny yourself the opportunity to find lasting love. 2. You Default To Impulsivity Instead Of Effort The counter-tradeoff your brain might make in the face of decision fatigue is taking the path of least resistance. Rather than wasting precious time and energy on evaluating long-term goals or personal values, you might instead opt for what feels easiest or most immediately gratifying in the moment. As 2018 research from the Journal of Health Psychology explains, it's not at all uncommon for decision fatigue to result in impulsivity. When avoiding a decision altogether isn't a feasible option, the next best shortcut would be to spend as little cognitive resources as humanly possible. These efficient yet impulsive decisions can occur in various areas of one's dating life. You might 'swipe right' on people you're not all that interested in, simply due to how tiring it might be to try and find someone better. You might say 'yes' to a date you're not particularly keen to go on, just to avoid the effort of finding someone else, or even the effort to politely decline. You might even go so far as to rekindle a relationship with an ex. As poorly as it ended, or even as incompatible as you were, their familiarity still demands less energy of you than starting fresh. According to a 2023 study on consumer psychology, decision fatigue has long been observed to increase our reliance on 'default' options. In online shopping, for instance, consumers are known to pick options they see first — rather than scrolling through endless options that could potentially prove more worthwhile. We make impulsive, energy-conserving choices like these each and every day. When deciding what to make for dinner, and what show to watch after, the rule of thumb often ends up being either picking what you see first, or what seems easiest. When it comes to relationships, these impulsive defaults might mean settling for a partner who isn't right for you, or even slipping into old patterns because they demand less mental work. But, regardless of the exhaustion we avoid, we also put ourselves at risk of dissatisfaction and heartbreak later down the line. How To Protect Your Love Life From 'Decision Fatigue' You might be inclined to dismiss your decision fatigue as a minor inconvenience. Of course, everyone gets tired of making choices; you might tell yourself that you're just doing what everyone else is, or what's arguably best for you in the long run. However, the stakes are higher when it comes to dating. Choosing when to engage or disengage and whether or not to commit aren't preferences that have short-lasting consequences. They can, and likely will, have tangible impacts on the trajectory of your relationships. That said, if you've been leaning on shortcuts in your dating life, you're already on a good path. The strategy, however, shouldn't entail total avoidance or sheer impulsivity. Rather, you'll find more success in the middle ground: where structure reduces your cognitive load, but without stripping away your choices altogether. If you want practical ways to land in that middle ground, consider: If lasting love is really what you want, the process of searching for it will always involve choices. That part is, unfortunately, unavoidable. However, these decisions shouldn't be sapping you of your energy altogether. If you give your heart and your brain equal importance and rest throughout the process, you're more likely to find love that energizes you.
