Welcome! At this point, we are in peak application season. This is usually the first wave of crunch applications, particularly for those trying to get their applications in for Early Decision/Action consideration. Best of luck in completing your application. Before we dive into this week’s content, a couple of reminders:
Stay organized and stay calm.
Do not let anyone give you documentation at the last minute - require it weeks before it is due.
Do not make last minute requests - be respectful of other people’s time the way you want them to be respectful of yours.
Be thankful - you are not the only one making requests, and a little bit of gratitude goes a long way.
Do not panic - At this point, you have done all you can.
