Just realized that my worst apps in the order of "worseness" of content / quality were
1. Darden
2. UNC
3. Emory - still work in progress, but definitely looks better than the previous two.
So now i have worked out a strategy for my Emory app
1. by end of this week , finish the 1st drafts of essays and also take in comments from reviewers
2. attend the Emory student's one on one on Sunday 4pm to 6pm
3. take his inputs as well and work on my essays
4. finish the recommendations by this weekend.. so i really need to get started on that...
5. Mail the transcripts on Sunday .. 12th December.. cant mail before that.. work on Christmas cards at work..
6. Use 2 hours daily in office each morning to work on my essays.. wish i could carry my laptop to work
7. write essays that dont put the adcom to sleep.. as told by my dear friend at Ross..
Sunk costs - Darden , UNC apps
Can i do anything about them?
NO
Can i do anything about the Emory app?
Hell, Yeah!!
Gotta sleep in some time.. maybe make some Chamomile tea to soothe my frayed nerves..
