<p>i just wanted to know how many supplemental essays one has to submit apart from the commonapp essay. in the harvard app supplement,theres like an option to send the essay- how many of the EA accepted have like written additional essays? and if so, how many?</p>
<p>Many applicants, including me, didn't write one and got in. I don't think they ask for more than the optional one though (besides the main essay and short answer for the common application)...</p>
<p>so u dint do any of those topics in the harvard supplement which had topics like "travel or living expereicnes in other countries" and " the books that have affected you the most" ?</p>
<p>nope, quite a few of us didn't do any essay besides the commonapp 500 word essay and the common app 150 word short response. however, i think quite a few people did send in resumes because there wasn't enough room for all extracurricular activities on the common app. now you can stop stressing and use the extra time to go see Chronicles of Narnia! j/p ;)</p>
