If you’ve already been writing essays for other schools since December and you’ve gotten feedback that your essays are in line with what the adcoms need to see, then sure, you can potentially pull off another app in the next few days. Just go into it with eyes wide open and with a clear view of your own presentation skills and profile. If those things are lined up, then there’s no reason you can’t add another app to the Round 2 mix.

Either way: Good luck with all that you’ve got in the hopper and we hope that at least one of these schools turns into a winner for you this year!
