you\u2019ve put in months of test prep. you\u2019ve earned a great test score. you\u2019ve spent hours writing the perfect essay. you\u2019ve made last-minute edits to your personal statement. and now\u2026 you\u2019ve finally submitted your applications. congratulations! what’s next?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. confirm that schools received all required materials<\/h3>\n

make sure that all required application materials made it to schools that you applied to. sometimes you can check the status of your application materials online. it is your responsibility to follow up and confirm that your application file is complete with transcripts, letters of recommendation, and test scores. if anything wasn’t received, make sure to send it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. stop stressing out about your applications<\/h3>\n

\"submitted-applications-1\"now that you\u2019ve finally finished your applications, there\u2019s no reason to continue stressing over them! put all of your application materials out of sight. don\u2019t revisit essays and worry over whether you could have done anything else to improve them. stay away from admission forums if they\u2019re just going to cost you mental energy. you can\u2019t do anything to change the admission outcome now, so it\u2019s best to keep your mind off of your applications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. keep up with your studies, work, and extracurricular activities<\/h3>\n

just because you\u2019ve submitted your applications doesn\u2019t mean you should drop everything in your schedule. keep your grades up. continue to put effort in at work. maintain your memberships in clubs and sports. you might not need to build your resume for applications anymore, but trust us \u2013 schools want to see your commitment to performing well extend past the application deadline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. thank the people who helped you along the way<\/h3>\n

if you think about all the people who supported you along your application journey, you\u2019ll probably come up with a long list of names. professors, supervisors, mentors, tutors, family members, and friends are just some examples of people who likely stood by your side to help you with academics, test prep, letters of recommendation, and career advice. show your gratitude. be appreciative. thank them! it only takes a plate of cookies, a card, or a personalized note.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. do something fun to celebrate!<\/h3>\n

\"submitted-applications-2\"submitting applications is a real milestone. go out and celebrate your accomplishment by going out to dinner with friends, heading to the beach, or checking out a nearby concert. you might not have had a lot of free time while preparing your applications, so this is your chance to have some fun!<\/p>\n
