<p>The money in the pocket essay is about 500~750, or even 500~1000 as I've heard or seen AdmissionsDaniel post many many times. </p>

<p>The favorite class is 250~500. </p>

<p>On a side note, the commonapp essay wasn't required if we did the JHU application right?</p>

<p>That search function works so well:

<p>jovenes132:
Correct. If you did the JHU app., then just the two JHU essays were required.</p>
