How long did it take you to write your essay?

<p>Specifically the one for the Common App. Just the draft, too. Anyone else spend over a week?</p>

<p>About 3 hours.</p>

<p>D has taken over a week-- through several revisions, and there will be one more at least. Obviously she didn’t spend 100 hours… but several hours a day, several days during the week. I’m a writer and I think several revisions spaced apart is the best way to really get deep enough into it-- so I encouraged that.</p>
