Have I mentioned how much I hate the UW app? I hate the UW app bucketloads. And then both the essay questions are about diversity and culture and all that -- which was the first thing that turned me off schools when I was still considering. Talking about how diverse you are? Oh, off into the pile of NO. Unless they were women's colleges, in which case they got extra mocked. You're so diverse, but you only let women in!

*scowls at UW* I don't even want to go to this school.

Oh, wow. That is very intense. (My cousin was a nursing major before she switched to criminal justice; now she's working on getting her nursing degree again.)

It depends on the school. I only applied to one Ivy -- Yale (I was going to apply to Brown too, but Brown doesn't have an AFROTC program) -- and its application wasn't as complicated as Stanford's, which is a "new Ivy." Stanford made us print out mailing labels because they didn't trust us to write the address of the admissions office down. *rolls eyes* Plus, ten million essays. Most schools don't require additional essays besides the Common App one; a few of them do, but they're mostly more school specific. Wellesley, for example; I had to write why I wanted to go to Wellesley. Davidson's is school-specific as well. Duke's is optional, which is good, because I can't think of a compelling reason to want to go to Duke besides "OMG DUKE!"

*sulks at the UW some more* Only public school. Only in-state school. One school I DO NOT want to go to.
