@divastar6 Mine were around 400 characters each-- is that too long?
hey guys one question- for the siblings part, it asks for your sibling’s education level. if my brother is currently in 9th grade, what do i choose? thanks!
finally submitted my application! honestly didn’t think I could do it I procrastinated so much that it’s not even funny and I really rushed on essay 3 in the end but whatevs 
good luck to all you beautiful people
@crimsondays Currently pursuing high school diploma/GED, I think.
@dreamsofbrown If you think that yours were important enough to warrant those amount of characters, then it’s as long as it should be.
But for the book list, I think brevity is your friend, if you talk about the 1 major point of importance from each work and you have 6 I think that’s better than 4 with longer explanations because i think the emphasis is a bit more on the books but that’s just how I interpreted it. The importance to you is obviously important as well.
Just fyi mine were around 200 characters each.
@divastar6 Okay, thank you!!
Application officially submitted! What a relief. Good luck to everyone!! (and now the waiting game)
I submitted!! I’m so happy omg. I think I did really well and that my character really shined thru!!!
Final essay lengths: essay 1: 1470 words; essay 2: 917 words; essay 3: 1488 words
which is interesting bc I felt like essay 2 would be the longest, hmmm…
also they were very personal/semiformal/conversational. In the first essay I actually addressed the reader directly bc im bada** like that lol
I think that, stress aside, I really enjoyed writing these essays. I got to know myself a lil better
good luck you guys!!! I’m honored to have procrastinated with all of u I really hope we will get to meet each other!!

Okk just submitted in case the site crashes again!

I either did pretty well on my essays or horribly
good luck to everyone!!
tfw you’re just so mentally tired you submit and never look back good luck everyone!
okay, i just submitted
but seriously kept my essays so short
like essay #2 for me sucks but is also like 2000 words
i just didn’t have/want to write anything else
whoops
i definitely should not have started this late but it’s whatever
i feel like all my essays are incomparable to all of yours; i am the worst writer
Just submitted. That was so stressful ahh
wow finally done and submitted!
Submitted!
just submitted! 
good luck everyone!
Submitted as well! Good luck to all!
submitted with 30 seconds to spare (never procrastinating again… hopefully) LOL GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
Oh my goodness I submitted a minute late but it still accepted. My second essay is a literal connection of bullet points, but at least I got it finished. Good luck to you all.
Holy crud you guys, I submitted it at 11:59 and there was an accent in one of my essays for blasé and so I had to take it out really quickly and pray that it didn’t turn 12 before I filled out the date on the last page my heart was (and is) pounding so hard but I submitted it! I’m not happy with the ending of my 1st essay but whatever, I’m just so glad I submitted it.
Good luck everyone!!!
OMG, i hope they still accept it. I was like 5 characters over on some of my stuff so I had to resubmit 2 minutes after deadline X.X
