One of the things people rarely talk about is the fatigue involved with the MBA application process. Fatigue is real and it can stop the positive momentum you have built up. Here are a couple of thoughts for you if your inspiration is a little low.
Hang in there and have perspective. Maybe it has been an arduous 8 or 9 month process for you. Maybe it was a 3 month process at 100 miles/hour. In either case, the experience isn’t nearly as exciting as it once was and there are still certain parts of the application you are unsure about. Fatigue is a factor now. This is where the term “application process” begins to take on new meaning. Make a quick list of the things you MUST do to complete your application. Focus on the MUST haves and leave the lesser priority items alone.
Keep your confidence about the work you have done. This is a long process, but make sure you finish strong. You may have to turn your application in without everything being “just right”. Be confident that you gave the process your best effort. Trust your work and know that the admissions committee will appreciate the excellent package you have prepared. All of the hard work you have done is going to show itself shortly.
