<p>crazy RD kids...</p>
<p>I've never written so many essays as I did this week. I can't even count...I think I wrote at least 5 in the past few days, but frankly, they're all starting to blend together. Writing "Why _____" for three different colleges back-to-back fried my brain and really made me feel quite disingenuous. But thankfully, it's over now. Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>YAY It's over.
and i don't have to rush to the post office today.</p>
<p>goodness! ahhhh good luck tonight</p>
<p>remember its 1159 EST
(my friend who was deferred from stanford early stayed up till 2 am cst finishing his application)</p>
<p>rae you saying he got deferred because he sent it in late?</p>
<p>his stuff probably wasnt good cause it was last minute, but idk if thats why he was deferrred idk if they timestamp ****</p>
<p>update:</p>
<h2>just finished dinner and here's how far i am</h2>
<p>p. 217 essay - DONE
Joint program M&T essay - almost done, but will need a TON of revision because it's written crappily</p>
<h2>why penn essay - i wrote some bullet points of what i want to include in the essay, but i haven't started writing it yet.</h2>
<p>what's the update on your guys's app? and yes, I really should get off this site right now.</p>
<p>just....... starting all essays... i have 4 hours 20 min.</p>
<p>Wish me luck</p>
<p>can't you just mail it in late...ha. but i'm sure if you work well under stress it will be good stuff anyways.</p>
<p>Hey how long should each essay be? I did page 217 one page (duh) but my jerome fisher is like 1,500 words (because I didn't attach a resume since its online)... I have written 2,000 words and still missing the WHY PENN essay!</p>
<p>AHHHHH</p>
<p>helop</p>
<p>my essays are gonna be about 400-500 words. 1500 words is definately way too many.</p>
<p>they want 1 page per single spaced
dont go over 1000 words, thats overboard
(I thought 650 was pushing it)</p>
<p>It is, on the other hand, I could do it 400-500 and then just submit an extra resume...</p>
<p>Also, if you get rejected from M&T, will they look at your M&T essay for regular consideration?</p>
<p>this is looking really bad, i'm churning my essay out VERY slowly and there is a dramatic lackingness in quality</p>
<p>Just started the freshman applicant essays. Gotta hurry :(.</p>
<p>yeah... this is bad... 2 hours and 30 minutes</p>
<p>haha, crappily or not, im done now. </p>
<p>but wait, i dont have a good picture to upload. i gotta take one and thats it</p>
<p>meh i still have my main common app essay for some other schools and pretty much the whole brown app. but penn's pretty much done! holla if you pretty much raped page 217! because I did! i've said that somewhere on this site before, i think. i should stop. i'm just proud.
my why penn is 1086. meh, it fits on a page size 10 font, so... the paper app says don't exceed a page. i think it's ok.
when you upload documents they keep your formatting and even headings/page numbers etc, right? i haven't viewed yet because the computer i'm working on doesn't have adobe acrobat</p>
<p>Done with "Why Penn?" 528 words; actually not too bad.</p>
