<p>Perhaps we can make a list of nasty supplements? :p</p>
<p>I'm just wondering what supplemental apps were the hardest for people and why. were there any very hellish / annoying supplemental apps?; For me it was Rice; the main essay was kinda hard and also had 3 additional responses.</p>
<p>My longest ones were princeton and rice. You most definitely need to be interested in rice to apply because there’s…just so much stuff on the app. Also, it was the only school that required an international financial statement of sufficient self-support even when I applied for FA. </p>
<p>MIT is kind of long but I liked the questions.</p>
<p>MIT and UPenn were a struggle for me. Stanford was also quite long, and I didn’t enjoy too much of it. Though Tufts was slightly on the long side, I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed Princeton too.</p>
<p>Michigan certainly wasn’t easy or short…</p>
<p>Stanford especially because I knew I wouldn’t get in.</p>
<p>Stanford and Penn were definitely difficult</p>
<p>Tufts was hard. Still hard.</p>
<p>Rice…all the essays, and then the box @_@ My image was really stupid</p>
<p>Haverford. Their supplement feels like a term paper assignment. Tufts had a lot of essays, but at least they allowed for lots of creativity.</p>
<p>Stanford was probably the hardest one for me. I could write the first two short essays but for the life of me I couldn’t think of a reason why stanford was a good fit for me. I basically just wrote a load of bs for that last essay.</p>
<p>UPenn, because the academic / social communities question was SO FRIGGIN BORING, but the 217 question was brilliant.</p>
<p>I found NYU’s supplement annoying because of the charater limit 
i wanted to write more. same goes for columbia’s short answers. took forever to cut stuff out. otherwise they were enjoyable prompts.</p>
<p>i put off brown for the longest time too. their supplemental essay prompts required a lot of thinking.</p>
<p>Michigan and NYU i thought were long.</p>
<p>I thought that UChicago was the most difficult. I loved the essay questions but it was just so hard to narrow down which one I wanted to write about and length.</p>
<p>NYU. Character limits fail.</p>
<p>none, its was just time consuming :)</p>
<p>NYU ODed on the char limits… seriously. They even had a space limit, excluding char limit if it exceeded. Are you serious? Fun, but irritating.</p>
<p>Penn… ■■■■. communities? Not my best essay…</p>
<p>I was actually going to apply to Penn, but when I saw the essays I decided not to. xD</p>
<p>MIT’s was sorta long, but I liked it. The hardest essay for me was honestly my Why Carnegie Mellon essay. I had a bunch of generic academic stuff.</p>
<p>Stanford’s was pretty lengthy but not bad</p>
<p>Columbia’s application was a pain. They gave you less room than the Common App to list/describe your activities, and specifically said not to give add’l info on activities. You had 300 characters to describe your most meaningful activity and only 600 to talk about why you wanted to go to Columbia. </p>
<p><3 Dartmouth for having the easiest supplement of all time</p>
<p>I loved NYU’s questions but the character limits did not allow me to express myself the way I wanted to.</p>
