I am applying to 12 schools and in total there are 12 writing supplements to do. I am assuming that completning the writting supplements is doable (effort wise, time wise) because the supplements will almost surley be repetitive; I am assuming that writing the supplement for one college will be a simple matter of copying and pasting the supplement I just wrote for another college, and modifying as nessecary.
Is this assumption correct or will 12 supplements present for me an extremley time consuming task?
I don’t know if you are being sarcastic…

No not really. You need to take time with each and do your research on each school you are applying to. Adcoms can spot essays that are “canned” and generic in nature. You need to be as specific as possible and really show a passion about the school and what they have to offer.
I think you’ll be fine. Assumably the schools and programs you’ll apply to will be similar, so your essays will also be similar.
My son has eleven schools and is finding that the essays are not overlapping much. In fact, thus far the only ones which do are his auto-admit and his Dream Reach school-- and since he expects to spend a lot of time on the latter, it’s not much of a savings. While it probably depends on which schools you apply to, I wouldn’t count on the overlap. Developing good time management skills is probably a better bet.
