Are the universities you applied to in your country or elsewhere in Europe comparable to the ones you applied in US? Aren’t there are many many universities in the US that don’t require supplemental essays or recommendation at all.

I applied to Princeton, MIT, Harvey Mudd, Wellesley and Reed. As far as I’ve seen, those unis whose applications are less stringent/detailed are the less selective unis. I wouldn’t bother going to the US for /those/ unis when I can get a pretty good education somewhere else.</p>
