I'm thinking of applying to Bucknell, and I was wondering about their essay prompts. What type of prompts should I expect and how unique are they compared to other colleges?
Bucknell University typically requires a supplemental essay in addition to the Common Application essay. The supplemental essay prompt is designed to help the University gain a better understanding of your interests, values, and fit with the school. While the prompts may change from year to year, they generally focus on aspects of your personality and experiences that will contribute to the Bucknell community.

As with any college essay, it's important to revise and edit your work to ensure clarity and coherence. And don't forget to have someone else review your essay to provide feedback and address any errors that may have been overlooked. Good luck with your application!
