WIth six weeks left before the first round of deadlines falling around December 15, it’s time to put all things aside and focus on applications. Use Thanksgiving as a deadline to finish your personal statement and manuscript. This gives you 25 days starting now! Its also recommended that you take a peek or start online applications at least a few weeks in advance so that you’re familiar with the platform. And don’t forget to remind your recommenders about a month before applications are due if they haven’t submitted letters on your behalf.
Good luck, writers!
I am available to you for creative writing feedback (fiction only) and help with the personal statement all month. View my services at robintung.com and contact me at robin.r.tung@gmail.com.
