University of Georgia Essay Prompts
The transition from middle to high school is a key time for students as they reach new levels of both academic and personal discovery. Please share a book (novel, non-fiction, etc.) that had a serious impact on you during this time. Please focus more on why this book made an impact on you and less on the plot/theme of the book itself (we are not looking for a book report).” (200-300 words)
Clearly state the title of the book and the author's name.
Consider selecting an unexpected or less-mainstream book to stand out, but prioritize authenticity over uniqueness.
Explain how the book impacted you during the transition from middle to high school.
Focus on how the book influenced your thinking, values, or actions.
Discuss why this particular book was meaningful to you at that specific time.
Explain how the themes or messages of the book resonated with your experiences or challenges during the transition.
Describe how the book contributed to your personal development and growth.
Highlight any changes in your mindset or behaviour that resulted from reading the book.
Do not summarize the plot or themes of the book in detail.
Instead, focus on the impact the book had on you and why it was significant during that period of your life.
The University of Georgia also requires the Common App supplemental essay and the prompts for the Common App essays can be found here.
We hope that this guide has helped you start planning and writing your essay prompts. Good luck with your applications!
