<p>I chose the one about literature as a way to overcome death. I think my essay was very good. I hope Amherst agrees haha.</p>
<p>Hey fishface1, would you like to trade essays? I’m welcome to comments and whatnot. And I’m also curious to see what you wrote about literature. I avoided that topic because my Common App essay was already written about literature.</p>
<p>I already submitted mine but sure that’d be fun.</p>
<p>hey! I’m applying from Australia, and I chose the science essay prompt.</p>
<p>I’m doing the one on literature. How predictable, haha. </p>
<p>Yay, srrinath, we are college list twins. I’m glad someone else has a long list because I’ve been getting a lot of shocked virtual-jaw-hanging everytime I mention how many schools I’ve got.</p>
<p>I just submitted my supplement and heaved a huge sigh of relief. I had a bit of fun writing this supplement but I’m mentally exhausted from writing applications at the moment. :(</p>
<p>Wow. Nice mix of applicants.
:)</p>
<p>Russian. New Yorker. 9 RD schools. Majoring in English. (Possible double major in English and Econ)</p>
<p>Srrinath, can you PM me your essay? Just curious because I wanted to write about the science one but decided to write about lit instead. (clearly, haha)</p>
<p>And Quasi…you have an insane amount of schools on your list. Haha. What are the schools, if you don’t mind my asking?</p>
<p>Srrinath, could you PM me yours, too? I’m writing about the Lit one because my Common App deals with science. No chance in changing it now, since my Common App has already been submitted before, but I, too, am interested in it. =]</p>
<p>I threw out my science essay and decided to do the “difficulty need not foreshadow” one instead. I wrote about how hard it was for me to write this essay. I think it came out good.</p>
<p>Any future Amherst football players around applying RD?</p>
<p>…does the occasional game of flag football count?
(Poor attempt at a joke. My apologies, haha.)</p>
<p>@Classicskid: I’m a classics kid, too! Very exciting :)</p>
<p>What length did you guys write the supplemental essay?</p>
<p>dunno, havent started yet. lol.</p>
<p>I honestly cant think of a topic… urg</p>
<p>Mine will probably go right up to 500. Around the 400-500 range, anyway. I dunno, I haven’t finished it yet.</p>
<p>Mine was around 450 I think. The word count is more of a guideline so they don’t get bombarded with 6 page essays. I wouldn’t stress too much about it</p>
<p>So, I decided to completely scrap my initial essay and instead write a new one, bringing my essays-to-do count back up to 6. Oh, how I love life.</p>
<p>HELLO ALL YOU LOVELY (OFFLINE) AMHERST APPLICANTS!!!</p>
<p>Merry Christmas! :D</p>
<p>Merry Christmas.</p>
