<p>how many essays/short responses does everyone here have to write for their applications? I'm just starting to carefully look at each school's supplement and almost all of them have their own essay or short answers. </p>

<p>For me... </p>

<p>Common Application Essay </p>

<p>Johns Hopkins: 2
Carnegie Mellon: 1
Cornell: 1 short answer
Lehigh: 2 short answer
Pittsburgh: 1
Villanova: 1
Virginia: 2 short answer
Penn: Don't know yet
Drexel: None
Penn State: 1 </p>

<p>Also, how many schools does everyone think they will apply to?</p>
