How long did it take you to finish your common App ESSAY?

<p>I'm still not even finished with mine 0_o</p>

<p>Have. Not. Started.</p>

<p>^ same!!!</p>

<p>Started at the end of last semester. Have been slowly re-drafting. I think I’m almost done, but I’m slightly over the word limit at 570 words :(</p>

<p>A week to brainstorm (on and off), an hour to write, almost done editing for a third (maybe final) draft.</p>

<p>I am on my third draft right now… First draft took me about 3 days. Updates for my second/third drafts took about 2 hours to update… but it’s still a work in progress.</p>

<p>Last night I just started it randomly…finished it within 45 minutes. I revised it this morning for like 20 minutes after the advice I got from multiple sources. I’m probably going to develop my third draft tonight, have my mom read it tomorrow, and create the final draft…</p>

<p>even though it’s just an essay when you come down to it, I still feel as if I should be spending more time on it. i brainstormed and finished writing in 3-4 hours and am currently finding help on editing it. i feel like i should spend at least like a MONTH drafting and re-drafting?! but currently, it’s only been taking a couple hours! does anyone else feel the same way???</p>
