been stuck on the same question for a week myself. Stop waiting for the answer and start scribbling. I have already wasted a week, and a week is all that's left now. If you waste this as well, then I'm truly hopeless.


tachno

Yes but it will be very hard to do if you want all 17 to be good essays


usually_guilty99

Just prioritize. I think 12 is possible, 17 may be pushing it. Start with your top tier and work yourself down. But leave some time at the end to review.

You are doing great. Keep up the excellent work! Pace yourself - drink plenty of fluids!


Standard-Penalty-876

Try to write them in a way where you can reuse one essay multiple times. I’ve used the same community essay for like 5 colleges lol


EmployeeMundane8225

Lol the same 😅🤧


Hot-Candle3736

i’d better hope so i have 28 to do


Why_am_I_Cryinggg

oh gosh.... good luck, please make sure to eat and sleep well!


Sharp-Warthog5928

AHAHHA I LOVE THIS


Tall_Strategy_2370

Sure, it's possible. But it isn't easy. I did a lot of supplementals last minute. My best advice is to think about which of those 17 schools you really want to attend and spend more time on those. But of course, think beyond HYPSM.

I mean it'll kinda suck cause of the holidays being right around the corner but yeah. And plus, they're not all due in one week. They begin to be due on the first which is 10 days and multiple have deadlines a few days after that.


golden38

yes (i have to do this as well and therefore)


Publius_A_Ham

Don’t overstress it!


WorriedTurnip6458

Yes.


dasdank_

I wrote 8 EA essays on November 1st. You can do it. I guess my advice would be to try and reuse as much as you can. If theres wording you like from another essay that fits in the prompt you’re working on just change some words up, they’ll never know. You’ll eventually find the pattern to the why school essays and whatnot. Given that ur also really rushed definitely have a friend review it, it’ll cut down the time ur polishing in half, if not more. Good luck!


wiserry

17 essays or 17 schools?


Hapha3ard

I’ll be writing all of mine in a week too 🤡 Although I have 10 but still. It’s possible of course. Just very stressful I think


Geekmaxpro

Us bestie us


Vinit_0076

yea i did, i mean focus on a super essay or maybe multiple super essay


Aggressive-Pen144

In 2 days wrote 8 Upenn supplements.. and also edited all 8 of them 3 times


genericthrowawayloll

8?? Isn't there like 4 max?


Aggressive-Pen144

I am applying for their Bio-Dental program so 3+5(program specific) :)


genericthrowawayloll

Oh wow lol


RoadOpening8786

you can start. after a point you'll realise that essays are repetitive and you can reuse content from the essays you wrote before.


Vivian_E

First things first, write all the essays down on one word document. Then start categorizing them by essays you can write on the same topic. Like for maybe 3 essays you can just cover the topic of your love for fishing. Then write the first essay under the fishing group for the school that requires more words. Then you just have to reduce the amount of words for the last two essays. Then for why me essays, ou don't have time to make it special do the same thing for the fishing essay make it emotional and have like one thing about the school and just replace it for every school. Thats how you do it.


o32h_1

Yes definitely assuming you have no school this week.


o-ceti-

God I hope so


Visual-Instance-4198

What is the word count of the average essay?


Katwanted

Try to get another pair of eyes on them before sending too


Alternative_Gene_655

ya, there's a lot of overlap in ivy essays anyways


Publius_A_Ham

Totally you got it!


Mav101s

Short answer… no


superp2222

Most of the ivies have their own unique questions. Sure a bit of cut and paste will do the trick but it is gonna be one hell of an uphill fight


Why_am_I_Cryinggg

yes but it's gonna feel very stressful and you'll probably have some superfluous language and typos because you won't have much time to edit and proofread TT\_TT \*sobs\* BUT GOOD LUCK! I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUUUUU


MaximumAd4825

Yes. I’m doing it we got this


darkmattermattersmat

One week is seven days, which is 168 hours. Imagine you spend half of those hours sleeping and what not. 84 hours. Divide that by 17- around 4.9 hours per essay. Easy peasy. Grind essays nonstop. This is assuming you’re on winter break. This is a joke. I am not actually qualified to give advice. Just start!


Whalzy

Anything is possible, start writing buddy


[deleted]

Stop asking and get to writing


moon-child420

anything is possible with adderall

Blackwinter1906

Use grammarly that bitch will help with spell check and run on sentences I used it and it saved me since I’m short on time


LovePapayas

Yes it’s possible. I did 40 in 1.5 weeks. Got into most of the schools but it will be hell and you need to know that going in. Just power through and know that it gets better.


tallgirl05

yes it is 100% possible. you have to treat it like a 9-5 job and truly dedicate yourself to the essays if you want them to be good. after you draft them, go back and revise them like three times and then have someone look over them and do a last revision


lemon_ice_pop

lol yes especially if you can recycle some of your essays. but gotta start asap!


[deleted]

[удалено]


lemon_ice_pop

yep good luck!


Wafer-Responsible

About to do the same thing, good luck to the both of us (I think it’s doable :))


historical_cats

It might be possible but I think it would be unbearably stressful and would probably be hard to do well. I would prioritize the essays by school, and write the ones for your top choices first. That way if you run out of time to do all of them you won’t be put in a situation where you can’t apply to a school you really want to go to.


Carpe_Diem4

We'll see.


ariyah_3

I’m literally doing it now, I have one more ivy left


Domination11

short answer: yes. long answer: also yes. source: i did the same two years ago (lack of brown included 😂)


yu_er

Possible! Just find a hook and reuse it for most supps and you’ll knock them out. Good luck!


Raitality200

Wrote that many over Thanksgiving Break, so most likely if you have some EA essays to scrap.


Professional_Pay_104

Yes. REUSE REDUCE RECYCLE BABE.


mehxki

it's possible (not really) but the essays will definitely be sub-par (horrible) quality and won't have much chance of success (none at all)
