So, I managed to submit two of my applications yesterday. I will leave it to you to guess which two ;). To me personally, it represents a big milestone as it involved pulling together a myriad of components, essays being the toughest of all. I believe that I have put in a strong application especially since I put in a lot of work in the essays which was one of the only components under my control.
One of my recommenders is yet to submit but I am not too worried about it.
In the end, I really believe that you should give about 15 days per school application. This is only after you have managed to shortlist your schools. Of course, essays of subsequent schools take a little less time because you can reuse the core parts of your earlier essays - thats a relief !
My plan was to submit a day or two before the deadlines but I submitted quite early and it gives me the confidence to take a shot at a 4th school. I have already started its essays, so it looks like I am going to be applying to 4 schools after all in Round 1.
Of course, now I have to wait for the interview calls. I am a little worried about them since my career has been such that I haven't faced too many interviews. I have interviewed many but very few people have had the fortune to interview me ;). This means that I have to prepare extra hard for interviews and keep my sarci (sarcastic) quotient down. Pretty tough to do.
Anyway, that bridge shall be crossed when I arrive upon it.
Till then, best of luck to fellow applicants. Keep your head down and keep going.
