ED school supplemental is the most difficult. They are using a new prompt this year, took DC some time (eight drafts!) to hammer it down last night. I read it after submission, it's great.

Three EA schools. Done.

Party for two nights this weekend.

Hopefully DC doesn't need RD applications.


Why are you doing this and not your kid?

Seems like a good reason not to apply to Princeton with all the restrictions. Does your child have a legitimate shot at getting admitted?

DD is done with ED and 3 EAs. One more EA is due Nov. 15. After that she needs to turn to 10 RD apps. Fortunately most of those don’t have supplemental essays.

She was bummed because after she submitted her ED the school said that if she wants to submit arts supplement she needs to do two other short essays in the portal by 11/7. Hate those surprise essays.
