<p>Tell me about it. I left my computer on for days because of SUNY's supplementary applications.</p>
<p>Which of these should I do next? As in, which is the hardest/easiest?</p>
<p>UPenn (nothing extra, just for the college)
Johns Hopkins (not common app, their app)
Cornell</p>
<p>umm. I thought penn was really hard. but its also my top choice, so i was busy making sure everything was PERFECT.</p>
<p>Cornell, I don't know why people found it hard...
unless I forgot to do something...
in which case...
XP</p>
<p>hahaha, well. It was okay.
Hahvahd was the easiest, me thinks.
It's proportional to how much chance I have of getting into those schools...not.
MIT is the exception.</p>
<p>Over-editted. Two months of editting makes applications go stale : P</p>
<p>I hate to be The One to say this but... none? It's writing a few essays and listing your accomplishments. Tedious? YES. Hard? No, just really tedious. Especially the regurgitation of everything that their viewbooks told you. Which obviously is not The Way to write them but.... ahem.... anyway....</p>
<p>I made sure my essays were perfect for Brown... I honestly think they are some of my best work ever. Like Eckie said, for him?/her? UPenn was hardest because it was first choice... well Brown was pretty tough for me because it's mine. I'll have to see how the others turn out. Hopefully not nearly as many essays...</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins' app was pretty easy. A lot easier than some state schools out there.</p>
<p>That's good... Maybe I'll do that one next then.</p>
<p>St. John's college, I forgot what I had to do, but it was something like a 4-5 page essay.</p>

<p>Dang... if only someone told you about this earlier.</p>
<p>Oh wait.</p>
<p>SUNY Bing, because I HATE the Common Ap with a passion!</p>
<p>definitely... definitely UPENN... I do not like their essays,...</p>
<p>and.. Johns Hopkins was actually pretty okay for me. I actually had fun writing my $10 essay.. I'm juss worried that it might be a little too long...</p>
<p>U Chicago..I haven't even started on the essays yet, I'm at a total blank lol.</p>
<p>BU---common application</p>
<p>i've been procrastinating and i guess that's why i found it hard.</p>
<p>Carleton's tedious supplement!</p>
<p>Hardest: Stanford (4 painful new essays)</p>
<p>Hard: JH (thought it was just common app-found 2 new supp essays)
Northwestern (two original essays + plus tons of random shorts!)
U of Mich (two original essays)</p>
<p>Mid: Duke and Rice (require 'why here?' essays with common app)</p>
<p>Easy: BC, Dartmouth, Harvard, WUSTL -- practically just common app</p>
<p>Easiest: U of I-- a short 'tell us about yourself' thats 300 words</p>
<p>I applied to a crazy number of schools, but hard ones that stood out: Amherst's essay, insane! UPenn, having to do an extra application and making sure everything fit!!! Hopkins with two extra essays! Princeton was annyoing because it was long but it wasn't hard. Vassar, Harvard and Yale just because of figuring out what to do with their blank spaces (ended up giving them an old version of the common app essay). Really easy were Trinity, Wesleyan and Williams without an extra essays.</p>
<p>I second/third/whatever# I am to say that Amherst's essays were no fun. Other then that, the rest were pretty straight forward, except the peer review for Dartmouth, because I don't have any friends. Brown's was easy because I didn't apply for science or PLME. Stanford's had fun essays, which I believe I rocked. I havent finished GW's yet, but it looks easy.</p>
<p>I actually didn't mind Amherst's essay, I felt like I could go a lot of places with it and I enjoyed writing it. (I did the "I'm not a machine..." thing). Haverford's was by far the worst for me - "How would the Honor Code change your life?" was almost impossible for me to answer. I mean, really, what can you say?</p>
<p>"I cheat a lot so I guess if I go there I'll have to stop."</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>Princeton's 3 long essays.
Northwestern's stupid questions.
Brown's Engineering.</p>
<p>Three Hardest.
Wash U. St. Louis, Lehigh and Tufts were a breeze</p>
