Both realized that no, they wouldn't get done unless I kept them on task. And both have been rather nice about me pushing them ever since.
That said, UVA's supplemental essay questions had even me rolling my eyes.
Number 10, due on Tuesday, is Stanford with it's 8 short answer questions and three additional essays. And he's not getting in. Except. He's applying because of his communications with the chairman of the Classics Department. He doesn't really want to go to Stanford but he does want to study with the professors in Stanford's Classics Department.
