Join Stacey and Becca as they break down the most common types of supplemental essays students will encounter during the college application process. From “Why Us?” and "Tell us about a community" essays to short answers and creative oddball prompts, they explain what colleges are really hoping to learn from each one, and how students can approach them with a narrative strategy in mind.
