How to Schedule Admission Application Related Tasks

You should always properly schedule your university admission application-related tasks. However, if you are struggling to finish, don’t be nervous. Instead, take a moment to look at the situation and then create a plan to successfully complete your applications.

• Examine the Cause of Your Delay:

First of all, find the cause of delay for running behind schedule. Procrastination might be a reason for it, so your first step is to seriously evaluate your feelings about the university. Are you going to miss your family or not flourishing in a competitive environment? Such fears are very normal as moving away from college and home is something which many students face during their transition to university. However, don’t let this fear hold you back. 

You may also be upset about the number of application pages or process. Maybe the school you selected is not the right one for you or maybe your personal statement is not up to mark. You might be short of time. Take a pause to think about your future and family. Use that feeling as a motivating factor to make time for completing the application task.  Once you have understood the reason, you should look for solutions. Millions of students face the procedure and go through it. You can too. 

If the choice of school is not right for you, consider visiting another campus or get in touch with a current student online through social media or social forums to find the personal opinion of the school. If you are worried about personal statement, ask a parent, teacher or trusted an adult to go provide honest feedback on areas which make you really stand out.

• Prioritize Your Assignments:

Take a look at your other tasks including family responsibilities, volunteer work, and university applications. Which tasks are optional and which are important? For instance, maybe you are planning to take on the SAT subject test or schools on your shortlist don’t require a subject exam.  Consider spending time on understanding important points of your application such as personal statement and focus on areas which make an application strong.

You can delay other matters too. For example, if you are working in an office, you can take more time to fill your applications. But do keep in mind that your future is important and for its sake, you need to focus on critical responsibilities including finishing your application tasks. 

• Creating a Proper Schedule:

Once you are done with pressing tasks, chart out your plan for completion. Focus on estimating how much time you will devote to each assignment. Keep in mind that things take longer time than you anticipate.  First of all, do those tasks which require a response from others. Carefully edit your letters of recommendations and content of the application. Take help from your parents and teachers to get the necessary tasks done.

With careful planning and a focused attitude, you will be able to compile your application. Be confident and remain honest with yourself and start working on your application now!
