What applications were the most difficult/irritating?

<p>Chicago was the longest one I did back during EA, but they must have been pretty good. :P</p>

<p>For RD, Penn’s was a little long, but I loved both essays, yes, even the communities one.</p>

<p>Brown’s were fine, liked them more than others.</p>

<p>UVA’s were cute, “favorite word” thing was a little lame, but I don’t know, I love words, so…</p>

<p>Cornell’s was so blah. Worst essay.</p>

<p>Stanford’s supplements were pretty long, but I enjoyed writing it. </p>

<p>Brown’s was pretty bad, considering I had to write extras. The supplement questions seemed repetitive. I felt like I was writing the same things over and over again.</p>

<p>Dartmouth’s supplement was nice. My friend enjoyed writing my letter of recommendation as well. We even had a few laughs about it!</p>

<p>THe hardest: financial aid stuff. God that was so annoying.</p>

<p>Even Chicago’s Supplement was a cakewalk compared to the financial aid stuff. </p>

<p>I’m international btw.</p>

<p>I was uninspired by Bowdoin’s Absolutely adored my Penn essays and my Yale essay. Talking about anything for the latter left me with super creative room. Amherst’s was pretty alright. Had a nice time thinking about it. I also liked Williams. Brown’s was difficult just because I was s nervous. Its my absolute absolute first choice.</p>

<p>Stanford and UChicago were the longest but most fun to write. Only thing I hated was stanford’s character limit >.< NYU too for the char but that was a quick write.</p>

<p>Worest was UPenn by far…stupided community thing. Honestly I just browsed their website and picked the first thing I saw and talked about that. If I get in I’ll really laugh.</p>

<p>Boston College was the easiest cause it had no supp :)</p>

<p>I concur about UChicago being the most enjoyable to write. I’m not looking forward to Colgate’s though (how you will contribute to the diversity of our campus… it’s the 3rd time I’ve had to answer that question.)</p>

<p>UPENN, so hard i skipped it</p>

<p>Chicago was great. I loved the topics. SO FUN!</p>

<p>ehhhhhhh I hated rice so I skipped it…
I did stanford’s but intellectual vitality? what is that???</p>

<p>Wake forest…</p>

<p>Stanford was my favorite. Rice and Chicago (which I didn’t have to finish, thankfully) were downright painful. The QuestBridge application was both a pain AND due by a ridiculous date September 30th!).</p>

<p>Stanford’s was so long. But if it weren’t for the fact I was doing it the night before, it might have been very enjoyable to write. :)</p>

<p>I thought about Princeton’s essay for a month and still came up with zip.</p>

<p>UMich too.</p>

<p>NYU!! It honestly wasnt so much the questions, they were actually very fun, but like everyone said the character limits were ■■■■■■■■!! haha i could have written so much more, i also think they could have given us 1 less essay to write about. that was a pain!</p>

<p>I don’t know why but Pitzer’s prompt was just stupid. I basically just combined and copied and pasted two essays last minute.</p>

<p>A little off topic: Vandy’s scholarship essays were painful!!!</p>

<p>Stanford was a pain.
More than 250 words, less than 1800 characters. << DIE!</p>

<p>yeah agreed with everyone about Stanford’s. I was doing the “Why would Stanford be a good fit for you” one twenty minutes before deadline. DEATH!
someone said Wake Forest, too - agreed because there was no essay but the short answer questions were impossible (for me, at least). so those and the last Stanford essay were total loads. hahaha.
<3 <3 <3 Dartmouth & BC for no supplements!</p>

<p>definitely NYU and Stanford. I’m actually working on the Stanford intellectual vitality essay as I’m posting this. NYU’s was hard because you literally had to sum up your answer into four lines</p>

<p>Funnily enough, I found Stanford’s app to be very easy. My answers to the questions just sort of came to me, lol. Right now I’m struggling with my last MIT essay and the Penn supplement.</p>

<p>Princeton isn’t easy…</p>
