How long did you spend?

I spent a few hours on the common app essays over the course of a few weeks. I spent about a day or two on the Stanford app itself - I didn’t dwell on the questions or anything; I just answered them truthfully and as I saw fit. Then I spent a couple hours editing it a few days later. It wasn’t really a big, time consuming ordeal, but I definitely took it seriously and put a lot of work into it.
