The Common Application has posted its essay prompts for the 2020-21 schedule, and for the second consecutive year, the 7 options have remained the same.  They can be viewed here.  While we recommend that our juniors at least make themselves aware of the prompts at this point, we strongly suggest that they wait to begin actually working on potential essays until the summer, when they have more time (it has also become part of our English Department’s Summer Reading assignment.)
