The New COVID-19 Essay

Are you planning to answer this year's new Common App question on the pandemic?

It's an optional question, so an answer is not necessary, but it may be important for some students to answer this: “Community disruptions such as COVID-19 and natural disasters can have deep and long-lasting impacts. If you need it, this space is yours to describe those impacts. Colleges care about the effects on your health and well-being, safety, family circumstances, future plans, and education, including access to reliable technology and quiet study spaces.” 

How to answer this question should be carefully considered along with your college essay strategy. 

We're here to help. Our team of essay-writing experts can guide you every step of the way, from brainstorming and multiple revisions to final proofreading.

College essays are more important this year because the SAT/ACT test is optional at many colleges. Make sure your essays are thoughtfully considered and written to showcase your strengths!
