12 without counting duplicates? My hats off to you! Plus you have the Chicago ppt essay.

Are they all R1?

Stanford - 4
Haas - 7
UCLA - 4

All R1.

Stanford has duplicate themes, but had to rewrite because all the essays have to fit the same theme.

Haas has four 250 word essays, two 500 word essays (including the optional one), and one 1000 word essay.

UCLA overlaps with Haas a lot, so 3 of 4 essays are easy, the last one is tough.

I have one draft left to write (Stanford Essay A), the others get reviewed as a package and updated as a package. I try not to work on different schools' essays simultaneously.

Wow .. you guys are impressive. Maybe this is why my applications are going at such a snail's pace. I worked on the 4 Columbia essays exclusively till Sep 10th. And now I've been working on the 4 Wharton essays exclusively (I did write some draft points for Stan's "What matters" though).

I may juggle between the 4 Wharton essays (Mostly edits) and 4 Stan essays (Drafts) in the next two weeks. I hope I can manage that.

15 essays for R1! That is awesome! My hat's off to you, as well. Right now, you are in the lead with 15 essays for one round. I don't know if anyone is going to beat that!

I think Avi (sex sex sex) might be able to beat that... Columbia, Chicago, Cornell, UCLA, and NYU for R1...

My "unique" count (non overlapping essays) would be 12-13 not counting duplication.

I was going for Kellogg (5 more), but I don't know if I can get that done in the next 3 weeks.

Same boat as you mNeo. After my 4 Columbia essays, I have been exclusively working on my Princeton SOP. Will look at Wharton after that.

I cant multi-task to the level that some other members can.

The R1 crown goes to NCPRASAD! Congratulations! You are officially the busiest person alive!

I hope that with all of our hard work for R1 this forum turns into more of a lounge because we all got accepted, and we can sit back and relax.
