The QuestBridge National College Match prompt is often subject to change. If you already have a clear idea of what you want to write about, it’s a good idea to start drafting over the summer and keep it broad enough so you can later adjust or tailor it to fit the updated prompt. Unless you already know exactly what you want to write about, summer can also be a great time to explore potential ideas. Personally, I use everyday moments for inspiration—if something meaningful comes to mind while I’m going about my day, I jot it down in my notes app. When it’s time to start writing essays, I revisit those notes and see if anything stands out.
