The Koppelman Group is dedicated to the success of its students.
“I couldn’t have imagined going through the college process without the assistance and guidance provided by the Koppelman Group. Caroline ensured that we understood every aspect of applications, and helped us to destress at a time when we could have been extremely overwhelmed. Throughout our time together, Caroline was always gracious with her advice, knowledgeable about the process itself, and willing and able to make sense of what seemed like utter chaos. I highly recommend the services of the Koppelman group.”

As summer marches on, so does our series breaking down each Common App essay prompt. If you’ve spent any time on our blog, you already know we’re big Prompt #7 people (the “write whatever you want” one). We love the freedom it gives you, but we also know that a structureless prompt can feel overwhelming for some students. So today, we’re diving into Prompt #5, sharing our honest takes along with tips and tricks to help you write it well.
We’re continuing our deep dive into each of the seven Common App essay prompts, giving you advice on how to brainstorm, write, and refine your Common App essay. If you’ve been here a while, you know we don’t always follow “conventional” college essay advice, and honestly, that’s why our students get results. Today, we’re tackling the newest Common App prompt: Prompt #4.
Computer Science has been one of the most popular majors for nearly two decades — and for good reason. Students with solid computer science foundations, and an impressive academic record, have been launching into well-paying careers just out of college for just as long. With AI, Machine Learning, and other emerging technology, though, things are starting to shift in totally wild ways. Simply having a computer science degree isn’t enough to guarantee a solid job anymore, as AI is going to be replacing so many entry-level programmers. Computer Science as a whole, though, still carries immense value as a degree path if you pursue it right.
If you are a junior interested in the classics, you are a pretty awesome student — and this certainly didn’t come out of nowhere. Building an interest in the classics while in high school typically means that you’ve been exploring ancient Greek and Latin language, philosophy, and history beyond the standard coursework available at school. Maybe you are taking an elective focused on the classics, or maybe you’ve taken online courses on your own, or perhaps you’ve been reading and studying independently. Whatever the course, you’ve had to build the path yourself, and that is exciting.
The MIT Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, located in Cambridge, MA, is a top business school at one of the most challenging universities in the world. Now, let’s get one thing straight: if you’re aiming for MIT Sloan, you’re not just competing with other students interested in business – you’re competing with engineers who code in their sleep, founders of biotech startups, and teens building climate finance models for fun. It’s MIT. The bar is high. And Sloan is no exception.
A major in psychology is popular and practical from the perspective of having a clear career trajectory. The only option isn’t to become a therapist, though. Students who major in psychology go into everything from marketing to social work, to counseling, with many going on to graduate or medical school to achieve licensing. The first step is your undergraduate degree. There are strong psychology programs at most well-respected colleges and universities, but the Ivy League, UCLA, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Rice are particularly famous for having outstanding psychology programs.
We’re back with another post in our series breaking down each Common App prompt, and today we’re diving into Prompt #3.
Next up in our journey through the Common App prompts: Prompt #2. Now, we’ve already confessed our love for Prompt #7, but we get it, not everyone wants that much freedom. If you’re someone who thrives with a little structure, Prompt #2 might be your perfect match.

It combines academic prestige, professional polish, and the kind of interdisciplinary learning that employers love. Students who land here get access to a tight-knit, ambitious community and a curriculum designed to prepare them for leadership in just about any industry.

Northwestern is a top research university in Evanston, Illinois that has become iconic for combining a collaborative learning environment with innovative hands-on research opportunities. They have a top engineering program, a top business school, a top education program (as in teaching future teachers), a top speech-language pathology program. If that sounds diverse, it is. Northwestern doesn’t pigeonhole themselves, and they excel across the board. It’s not surprising, then, that it isn’t easy to get in. There are about 8,000 undergraduate students, and the acceptance rate is under 8%.
