<p>Whether it be for the Common App, college supplements, for certain colleges, or for certain scholarships, how many total essays did you write (or will you write) during the entire college application process?</p>
<p>*If you used the same essay for multiple colleges or purposes, count it only once.</p>
<p>5 for admissions, 2 for scholarships. Some colleges give you four different topics and have you write 200 or so words for each, but I count those as a single essay considering that one topic = a paragraph.</p>
