There's an APP for that

<p>Just curious – under the assumption that most of cc’rs on this forum applied to multiple, if not all, of the Ivies and additionally a few selective universities, how would you rate the applications (or Supplements where Common App was used) you completed? Which application do you feel lends itself to providing a more complete picture of the applicant so as to facilitate “holistic review”.<br>
My List:
UChicago (It doesn’t get better than the 6 extended essay prompts – it was tough deciding which to use. Combined with their short essay response Q’s – you can really shine.)
MIT/Columbia (I prefer the Q/short essay response style – took advantage of every question to bring out my passions and personality)
Brown (Good supplement, although I found the Math/Engineering/CS Essay sections a bit overlapping)
Princeton/Yale (pretty much the same – thankful for the Summer Q in P’s, and extra engineering essay in both. Princeton’s prompts were good)
Dartmouth /Harvard (I was extremely surprised by the H supplement -- I expected more -- Dartmouth at least had a Peer Review)</p>

<p>Stanford, Columbia, and to a lesser extent, Brown.</p>

<p>I enjoyed Brown the most.</p>

<p>I had the most fun writing Stanford’s. I felt as though I could be a bit more creative with that one.</p>
