I have to agree with the OP about essays, they really do require a lot of work, I started my common app essay at the beginning of the summer, and it was finalized the weekend before the ED deadline, now of course I didn’t work on it continuously, but I definitely spent a long time on it. And I find it very funny that every person who has ever made a chance thread on CC says that their essays are “very good” or “excellent”, I can guarantee that more than half of those essays are not “very good” or “excellent” from the stand point of being very interesting to read and revealing personal character.
