FSU Supplemental Essay Prompts 2026-2027
Under each prompt: what it is really asking, the mistake most applicants make, and the first question Jim asks you so the essay comes from your story, not a template.
- University Honors Program supplemental essay: Many FSU Honors students pursue double majors, often in completely different fields, to enrich their academic experience. If you could choose two majors offered at FSU from different departments, what would they be and why? Design an Honors Signature Course that explores a topic or issue at the intersection of these two majors. Name the course and provide a brief (2-3 sentence) description for the website. Describe in detail what is important for you that students gain from the class and suggest a campus resource, faculty member or organization to enhance their learning experience.
350 words · optionalWhat they are really asking: Can you connect two fields in a way that shows how your mind works?
The mistake most applicants make: Picking two majors that obviously go together, like biology and chemistry, then writing a course description.
Do this instead: Choose a pairing that only makes sense because of you, then design a course a real professor would want to teach. Give it a title, one core question, and one assignment. Specifics are the whole game.
Jim starts by asking you: “What two subjects do you keep connecting in your head that nobody else seems to?” Answer it with Jim, free →
