Richard’s Answer
For my children, five of whom have applied to college now, the essays were the most difficult part.
By your junior year when you apply, you should have done all of the extracurriculars and everything to put on your application, so it is mostly a matter of filling the form out online. However, many schools have at least one essay that was specific to their university, so you could end up writing a ton of essays. My advice would be to start early and continuously revise them over the course of the application period.

In my opinion, the hardest part is to identify the best place to getting where you want to be (career wise). This is strongly coupled to which colleges accepted you, however I think that the decision relies only on you and the research skills. Essays are quite simple, you just need to tell what makes you special or extraordinary individual. Hope this helps!
