Core colleges with four or more supplemental essay questions for first-year applicants, most first. The count is the essay questions in Common App's Writing requirements page for 2026-27 plus any prompts a college's own page lists that the Common App page does not; a "choose one of these prompts" list counts once, uploads are not counted, and some questions are optional. Check each college's page for the current wording.
