<p>I'm going to have a lot of free time over the coming months, and given that I value college admissions above my social life I was wondering if there were any nationwide essay contests, or contests of other varieties (although not as time consuming as say, Intel) that a well-written high school sophomore who knows stuff-about-stuff could enter. Anyone willing to share some such contests?</p>
