Supplemental essays · 2026–27 application
Taylor University supplemental essays.
The essay question Taylor University asks this year, word for word, with the word limit and how to approach it.
Checked against taylor.edu and the Common App application on October 17, 2026
What you write: One short list of up to three experiences, up to 250 words.
Your passion areas
Up to 250 words
We’re curious about your passion areas. List up to three extracurricular, community, church, volunteer, work and travel experiences that you have had in the past.
How to approach it
- Each item should say something about you that the rest of the application doesn’t.
- Mix serious and small. A list of only big ideals reads like a poster.
- Use the exact format asked for. Don’t write sentences if it wants a list.
