High School Essays
It can be hard to get to know a student through an online application. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you, apart from courses and grades?
For each short answer question, write a short paragraph that tells us more about you, and gives us a sense of your writing.
Respond to ONE of the following questions in 250-300 words.

- The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
- Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has it affected or motivated you?
- Think about a topic or subject that inspires you, or something in your identity that is meaningful to you. Tell us about it

AND

Respond to ONE of the following questions in 250-300 words.

- It's a tradition that incoming Stanford students are asked to write a note to their future roommate. Even if you're hoping to study with us online or will be commuting to campus, you will likely have a roommate at some point in your future. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you that will help your roommate (and us) get to know you better. You might tell us about how you deal with conflict, or describe a past event or situation that tells something about living with you, or being in community with you.
- At Stanford, we value diverse perspectives and the ability to have respectful dialogue about difficult issues. Share a time when you had a conversation with a person or a group of people about a difficult topic, or something about which you disagreed. What insight did you gain, and how would you incorporate that knowledge into your thinking in the future?
