<p>Glad to see other people with long essays.</p>
<p>WOAH kathryn! It said 1-2 paragraphs and you wrote nearly 1000 words! That's intense.</p>
<p>Whoa, these word counts are high!</p>
<p>is 500 words sufficient for the long essay?</p>
<p>I hope so. I think so. I guess I'll be the litmus test.</p>

<p>It is the "uncommon app" though....</p>
<p>Didn't it say write a "paragraph or two" for the two short answers? Isn't a 968 word paragraph a bit excessive....</p>
<p>::shrugs:: Those aren't long essays to me... especially since i'm writing about things i love and am passionate about. Besides, the essays are really the only effective ways to communicate what your interests are, and I try to make them as interesting and as reflective of me as possible.</p>
<p>And no, it's not one, long paragraph. haha... ; ) That would be ridiculous. It's actually four paragraphs...</p>
<p>i seriously hope that region/state does not affect us too much
if so, i just go rejected in favor of Kathryn07</p>
<p>don't say that. you can't judge and essay by the word count.</p>
<p>wow! mike did the math question! funky.......</p>
<p>did most do personal prompt?</p>
<p>I made up my own prompt for question 3, but of the three other people applying EA from my school, 2 answered the tea party prompt, and 1 did the miles davis quote.</p>
<p>I feel like out of all the given prompts, the tea party one is probably the most popular one.</p>
<p>and i like that your "location" is Narnia Kt Kegon</p>
