<p>I’ve spent around 15-20 hours on mine so far. I’m a really slow write though. I’ve completed my first draft (which I had read by a UCB grad) and now I’m working on revising it. I figure I’ll spend another 5 hours revising it tomorrow, get it reviewed again, and then submit my application.</p>
<p>The main reason I am taking so long is that I have several things I want to mention and it’s really difficult figuring out how best to divide them between the two prompts and the additional comments.</p>
