Re: how much did you write
Took a previous administration, but I decided I needed to wrap things up once I flipped over to the back

Previous administration - wrote for about 10-15 minutes, didn't fill a whole page. It didn't affect my cycle whatsoever.

Re: how much did you write
Two or three paragraphs, going down to maybe the last 3 lines of the front (so about half a page, maybe a little more).

Re: how much did you write
Decided it didn't matter, wrote one giant eyesore of a paragraph that went about 3 lines onto the back page.

Four paragraphs. Halfway down the back of the page. Took about 15 minutes. Stared at the clocked for the other 20.

Re: how much did you write
I filled most of the front page. Glanced back at it, realized that pretty much the entire thing was barely legible, and proceeded to take a 15 minute power nap.

Re: how much did you write
Finished about half of the second page. It was all drivel and nonsense though, my head was killing me and I wanted to puke. I doubt it makes any sense at all.

Filled the entire thing, front and back with literally a millimeter or two left to spare.

Re: how much did you write
One page and a Quarter... and I was trying to write slow. But then a lot of hot guys were walking out of the gym so I figured I could stop bullshitting and just watch them like a creeper.
Time well spent.

Re: how much did you write
I've never written more than front page and half of the back but somehow yesterday I filled every line. I had about five minutes left over. I wish they would score the writing and throw out the RC score.

Re: how much did you write
i did 1 page, with line breaks between my 3 paragraphs.
paragraph 1 basic intro: freelancing ftw
paragraph 2: bunch of bullshit about why freelancing is better
paragraph 3: restatement of freelancing ftw
took me about 5 minutes to read and understand wtf the prompt was saying.
spent 15 writing.
after 20 minute, went and took a piss(i drank too much agua)
then i put my head down for the last 10 minutes and tried to get in a calm state of mind until I get my diagnostic score in 1 month

Re: how much did you write
Took it last October. Read the prompt and thought about it for about 2 minutes, wrote for about 10 minutes (3/4 of a page) and then just relaxed.

Sincerely hope that's a joke. We run a Q&A with deans of admissions every year, and they have always said leaving the writing portion blank or drawing a picture has always led to an instant rejection.mattviphky wrote:Went to the bathroom and then drew a unicorn

On two separate years, one was Duke (Mark Hill [director of admissions, not a dean]) and one was UVA (don't remember name or position, I was a freshman).minnbills wrote:Which deans?Modus Ponens wrote:Sincerely hope that's a joke.

Re: how much did you write
Yeah, shitting on the writing section so obviously is about the only way you can screw the writing section up

Huh, I'm not surprised.

Re: how much did you write
I wrote the whole front page and perhaps 1/3 of the reverse side. My handwriting is fairly large, though, so it was probably only 4 paragraphs of 3-4 (long) sentences each.
