If you\u2019re a senior undergraduate student applying to graduate school, you\u2019re probably starting to feel the stress. You\u2019ve got a lot <\/em>going on! Between classes, work or interning, socializing, and navigating your grad school applications<\/a>,<\/strong> it can be easy to burn out! Today we\u2019re going to talk about some ways to avoid grad school application burnout so you can make the most out of this application season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 1: Organize Your Deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you already know, grad schools all have different application deadlines. Digging through program websites every day reminding yourself of deadlines is an easy way to burnout. Instead, try putting everything into a spreadsheet for easy reference. Grad Life Grind has a great article about making an application spreadsheet<\/a>, <\/strong>complete with a free template! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are applying to scholarships, I would recommend making a spreadsheet for that as well. Get Schooled has some great free templates<\/a> <\/strong>to help you track your progress on scholarship applications. When you apply to Emerson, you are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships and fellowships<\/a>. <\/strong>There\u2019s no extra application!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizing your deadlines will take a little time upfront, but it’s a great way to avoid grad school application burnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 2: Start Early<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The application essay is where you can really set yourself apart from the competition, so make sure you start your essays early. You want enough time to write, re-write, and edit every essay. If you need guidance on the editing process, the New York Times has some great tips on how to edit your own work<\/a>. <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve edited your draft, have someone else edit it too. Many colleges have peer tutors that are free to students, so take advantage of your resources! Even the best of writers need an extra set of eyes<\/a> <\/strong>on their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to starting your essays early, you should also consider applying before priority deadlines. For many schools, priority deadlines give you a higher chance of acceptance<\/a>.<\/strong> When you apply to Emerson\u2019s priority deadline<\/a>, <\/strong>you are the first to be considered for financial aid, plus you get your acceptance decision earlier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also study for standardized tests ahead of time. None of Emerson\u2019s graduate programs require the GRE, but if you need to take the test for another application, be sure to study a few months in advance. I found the Princeton Review<\/a> <\/strong>test prep book very effective! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Tip 3: Know Your Limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because graduate programs are competitive<\/a>,<\/strong> it\u2019s tempting to try and juggle multiple internships, jobs, and courses just to beef up your resume. Getting good experience is great, but know how much you can handle in a semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to only commit to things you know you have time for. Of course, it isn\u2019t always possible to limit how much you work, especially if you\u2019re putting yourself through school. However, as much as you can, don\u2019t put too much on your plate. Being overworked and sleep-deprived<\/a> <\/strong>just makes it harder to craft an outstanding application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Girl<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even if you can\u2019t cut down on work hours, make sure you can advocate for yourself. If you\u2019re the leader of an organization, learn to delegate instead of doing everything yourself. If you can\u2019t pass up that internship opportunity, try to negotiate for pay<\/a>. <\/strong>It can be scary to advocate for yourself, but these small adjustments can give you more energy to spend on grad school applications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 4: Self-Care and Breaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know this can be hard to accept, especially when you\u2019re a busy student trying to prove yourself to grad schools. However, if you never take a break<\/a>, <\/strong>you\u2019re more likely to burn out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for breaks and self-care to be effective, you need to know what works for you. I used to think self-care wasn\u2019t for me because I don\u2019t like bubble baths. Then I realized that cleaning my room<\/a> <\/strong>and watering my plants is a form of self-care for me because it energizes me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re also skeptical about self-care, check out this list of \u201cnon-cheesy\u201d self-care options<\/a><\/strong> from The Source. I especially like their suggestion to alternate whether you\u2019re using your mind or body to take a break. Figure out what things make you feel more energized and clear-headed, and that\u2019s your self-care routine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 5: Know Your \u201cWhy\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your goals and tasks aren\u2019t personally motivating to you, you\u2019re more likely <\/a><\/strong>to feel burnt out. It\u2019s much easier to work long hours if you feel your work is making a difference. If you\u2019re doing work that feels pointless or goes against your personal values, then the hours seem to drag on forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because grad applications require a lot of time and work, it\u2019s really important to have a \u201cwhy\u201d for applying<\/a>. <\/strong>For example, whenever I wanted to give up on grad school applications, I reminded myself that graduate school meant I would be able to help others. The application process was still work, but it was a little easier if I kept in mind that getting into a program would allow me to give back, which is one of my personal values.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Think about your reasons for going to grad school. Does it align with your personal values? Will it help you move up the corporate ladder? Will it help you make more money? Whatever your reason, make sure it\u2019s something that will motivate you through the tough moments of the application season. If you\u2019re not sure what motivates you<\/a>, <\/strong>this online quiz is a fun way to start figuring it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of what programs you\u2019re applying to, the application season can be overwhelming. Especially if you are applying in your senior year of college, it can be easy to get grad school application burnout. Hopefully with these tips, your application season will be successful and less stressful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
