<p>wow, my mother has been nagging me every day for the past 2 months :'(</p>
<p>anyhoo, i’m recycling one essay about 6 times, yay 
so most of my supplemental stuff is out of the way, but i still need to write my common app MAIN essay, ahhh.</p>
<p>but doncha just love when you’re unsure about a few schools, but then u look at the supplements, which are ridiculously lengthy, & cut them? because i do : P that’s how i narrowed down most of my list.</p>
<p>sorry if i’m babbling. it’s late.</p>
<p>Bump - any more? Schools without essays in the supplements?</p>
<p>theycalmecc, which colleges require lengthy supp essays?</p>
<p>let’s see…</p>
<p>wake forest-gives u ten questions. TEN. &, on top of that, asks u to list a bunch of books you’ve read in the past 2 years -_-</p>
<p>occidental-gives u about 5 essays</p>
<p>hampshire-wants u to upload a freaking analytical paper you’ve written in the past + wants u to write one hardcore essay</p>
<p>claremont mckenna-wants u to WRITE a freaking analytical paper just for them + fill in some blanks</p>
<p>i don’t know, maybe if one of those schools was my DREAM school, i would do it. but they’re not, so i won’t ;)</p>
<p>Stanford is pretty lengthy.</p>
<p>I wish someone would make a list of schools frequently mentioned on CC and list them by number of supplemental essays (with short takes of 100 words or less = one essay for all of them). I know it sounds lame, but I need to apply to one more school. Since I won’t be going there unless my safety comes up with awful financial aid, I have to really like it but I don’t have to love it as much as the other schools on my list.</p>
<p>Smith just has two very short ones</p>
<p>Now that Wake is requiring interviews hopefully they’ll lessen the required supplements.</p>
<p>I would not let the number of supplement essays deter you from applying to a school. I know it is a lot of work (trust me, i was on the same boat as you were last year), but it pays off in the end. One of the best merit aid offers I received was from a school that required 3 supplementary essays. I almost did not apply to this institution because I didn’t want to do the supplementary essays. However, I am glad that I did because I am now attending this university, which is Rice.</p>
<p>Not a “top” school, but Clemson requires no essays.</p>
<p>Colby College eliminated the supplemental essay for the application for the Class of 2015.</p>
