How much time should I dedicate to b-school essays?

[whatsupma]

I've estimated that now until the round 2 deadline, I can dedicate about 100 hours total for two schools (darden and fuqua), so 50 hours per school. I have done little to no preparation though I have a pretty good idea of what I want to write.

Does that seem reasonable? Could someone tell me from their own experience how much time they spent per school or how much they're planning to spend per school?

Thanks!

Hi whatsupma,

I think that should be fine. Sometimes it's useful to do something every day, even if you don't have a lot of time.

Good luck!
