I'm starting to prep for my BU application, and I'm curious: can anyone help me out and provide some info on the current prompts for Boston University applicants? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I'm glad to hear you're preparing for your Boston University application. While the prompts for the coming application cycle won't be released until August 1st, you can check out the ones for the most recent application cycle, as well as breakdowns of how to respond to each one, on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-boston-university-essays.
While this post can give you a general sense of what to expect, you don't want to start actually writing just yet, as the prompts can change year to year and you don't want your hard work to go to waste if they change. So, hang on until August 1st, when the prompts for your application cycle will officially be released.
Once you do have drafts going, consider either taking advantage of CollegeVine's Free Peer Essay Review Tool or submitting your essay for a paid review by an expert college admissions advisor. Sometimes, getting a second set of eyes on your essay is just the thing that takes it from good to great!
Good luck with your BU application!
