This college does not publish its questions.

This college does not print its essay questions on its own website: they only appear once you open the application. These are copied word for word from college-essay guides that agree with each other. Check the questions in your own application before you write.

Personal statement required (250-650 words), plus one supplement:

  1. Required · 150-300 words

    The Spelman College tagline is "A Choice to Change the World". If you could create meaningful change around one issue in your school, community or globally, what would it be and how would you approach making this change?

    College Essay Guy's 2026/2027 page states '(150-300 words)'. College Essay Advisors (2025-26) and CollegeVine (2024-25) both state 300 words maximum with no stated floor. The prompt sentence itself is identical across all three.
