[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]two kids, each applied to 8-9 schools. one wrote 35 total essay, short responses, etc. one wrote 7 and three of those were totally reused. So really 5. both applied to colleges that were in the top 40. just a reminder you can't really compare w your neighbors. I've been really surprised with kid 2 how easy this all was. I was expecting more of what happened with kid 1, with tons of essays and he couldn't reuse almost anything. Kid 2 has three colleges that literally ask the same question w length exactly the same. what a joy![/quote] I've been surprised by some schools that require one 150-word essay. We talk a lot about TO vs Test and data. And apparently there's no data on if asking for 4-5 essays helps a school build a class or not[/quote] schools with that many essays are looking for something very specific. you can usually pick up on it.[/quote]
