CA官网公布了2016-2017年美国大学本科申请essay题目，和2015-2016年的相同。不过申请2017年入学的同学（现在高二，11年级）现在就可以直接创建自己的Common App帐号了，申请期间的个人添加信息一直会保存，除非自己删除。不了解申请流程的，可以有足够的时间去了解，并按照相关要求准备材料和活动了。

 

    第1题：

 

    Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

 

    第2题：

 

    The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

 

    第3题：

 

    Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

 

    第4题：

 

    Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve.

    第5题：

 

    Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
