[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If you are reading this article you are probably bleary eyed, as the last minutes to submission deadlines are upon you. For some of you this may mean the light at the end of the tunnel, while for others it may mean a train is bearing down on you.<\/h5>\n

So as the light gets closer, here are some things to think about in the last moments:<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s you, not them.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

You may be tempted to have just one more person offer their thoughts on your essays or overall applications. Bad idea. Essays are creative pieces and aren\u2019t there to give the reader the dry facts. As such, reviewers can always find something in an essay they don\u2019t like. At this point, this is not helpful. So don\u2019t bother getting any last minute opinions. Leave it alone. You don\u2019t have time to disrupt the creative process or let your work be contaminated by what someone else wants to say.<\/p>\n

2. It\u2019s them, not you.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Remember in July when you asked your old boss for a recommendation? Remember how he said sure? Remember how you forgot to remind him of the deadline? Remember how you never saw a confirmation of his submission? Too late. Unless he is truly a saint, or owes you money, no one is turning around a recommendation in a matter of hours. At least you have plenty of time to remind him for next round.<\/p>\n

3. It\u2019s the little stuff that kills you.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Applying to \u201cColombia\u201d or \u201cColumbia?\u201d It is the \u201cStanford Graduate School of Business\u201d not \u201cStanford Business School.\u201d Spelling errors and other \u201cdumb mistakes,\u201d generally mean a \u201cfast pass to the ding pile.\u201d It is not enough to avoid them just in the essays, but throughout the application. To check, before you hit the submit button, print out the entire application in PDF and go through it line-by-line. Not enough time to do this? Hope for the best.<\/p>\n

4. It\u2019s not just the essays.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Just as you are wrapping up the essays,you realize that there are more essays! As is the case with many applications, there are a series of \u201cshort answer\u201d questions that are not so short. In fact, many of them require a sophisticated answer, \u201cWhat would you do if you don\u2019t get into business school?\u201d \u201cIn 250 words, please share what your short-term and long-term goals are.\u201d This is not something you want to write on the fly or when you are exhausted. Beware.<\/p>\n

5. The application is online?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

While most folks know you complete the application online, most don\u2019t realize the volume of information that is required. Between adding in the simple stuff like your name, and uploading transcripts and test scores, and then those pesky little 5-word answers, the online application takes time to complete. And don\u2019t forget good \u2018ol bad luck. You wouldn\u2019t be the first person unable to submit because of a faulty Internet connection or crashed computer. Plan for it.<\/p>\n

6. This ain\u2019t your work resume.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Are you submitting a new, polished resume specially crafted for business school or one from two years ago for when you landed your last job? If the answer is the latter, stop right there. The resume is a foundational piece of your application. If your resume is cracking, your whole application is falling down.<\/p>\n

So what is your choice? Should you submit now or wait, polish the application, and submit for the second round? Just by asking this question, you probably know the answer: when in doubt, hold it out. The admissions process is so competitive today that you generally need a pristine application to be accepted. Anything short of that is not going to get you in. If you need more time to get the application as perfect as you can, then second round is the way go. Better this way, then getting run over by that train coming down the track.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
