Still worth submitting secondaries now?

I got most of my secondaries in mid-late July and submitted 45/50 by end of August. I have been really procrastinating with the last 5 because their questions are just terrible, can't find any experiences that will adequately answer the questions and I AM BURNT OUT. I am left with USC, Duke, Loyola, Georgetown, Albany. Should i even submit or still power through these by mid October?

Being burnt out is no frame of mind to submit secondaries. Your mental health trumps anything else.
45 out of 50 is substantial. Thats a great accomplishment.

Lightening the mood, here are some memes that I think capture your mindset...

You don't get bonus points for self-torture during the application process, and the quality of your secondary responses may have eroded that you can't go through the mental exercises of the remaining prompts.

You should know what your limits are, and your situation is why we don't generally advise people to go over 30 secondaries.

Let it go and trust the process.

agree with above. if you really wanted to submit another, the USC one has a 60 word limit for its questions, so its easy to bang out. but prioritize your mental health. 45 is plenty of schools!
