You may not want to hear this, but… you should start your Secondaries as soon as you complete your Personal Statement and W&A—before the schools have even sent you their questions. There are recurring themes that you can bet will come up, and prepping things you can polish once you have the exact questions will make the Secondaries process much easier. You want to submit your answers within two weeks of receiving the questions to ensure you get one of a school's limited interview slots.
The good news is: You will be able to recycle your Secondary answers for different prompts and use aspects of your Secondary drafts for your super-short answers too. But to do this more effectively, you'll need to get organized.
We suggest that clients keep school-specific folders holding all of their responses. Head to our blog for the rest of this post, including specific tips about organizing yourself for Secondaries success.
