The essays, 2026-27
Could not confirm
Morehouse College asks for an essay but does not publish the prompt, so we cannot tell whether it is the Common App personal statement or a question of their own.
Morehouse requires an essay "(choose any of the essay prompts)" and publishes no prompt list on any of four admissions pages. Open the Common App or the school’s own application before you assume there is nothing extra to write.
