How many essays to write for this year's applicants?
I checked out the application for the 08-09 year, and there is only 1 essay to write. (1 page essay)

Is there more to this application? Cause my friend last year said he wrote 3 essays. 1 long one and 2 shorter ones.

I really want to get the application done before school, or partially finished.

When I applied this past year, there was 1 required essay, and 2 optional essays if you wanted to be considered for PS or honors program, I think.

For the record though, I only did the 1 required essay and got accepted.

The 2009 application that can be downloaded has one essay question. The Apply Web (Online app) has not been updated for 2009 term but shows 2 short essays for PS & Honors applicants. The single essay question on apply web has not been updated for 2009 either.

Not really sure at this point, guess will now more after Apply Web is updated for 2009, probably by tomorrow.

Looks like no short essays for 2009 PSP, so one essay is the answer.
