<p>I want to be ready by November, (possibly October 15 for ED at one school) and I just started working on the Common App and my personal statement. </p>
<p>Also, I'm sort of a slow writer. I'm getting faster, but I'm still pretty slow.</p>
<p>Same here. What I’m doing is devoting around thirty minutes to an hour daily, but most of it gets done on the weekends.</p>
<p>As much time as you need to get it finished. I’m bad with scheduling so I’m not giving myself a goal of x hours per week, but so far I end up spending about 4 hours a week on essays alone, and I’m nowhere near finished.</p>
