[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 223292, member: 42112"] Hello! I totally get how overwhelming it feels when applications and uni pile up at the same time - I faced a similar issue when I was applying last year whilst in my final year of uni! What helped me was getting really intentional with my time. I made a weekly schedule and blocked out specific hours just for uni work (e.g. lectures, coursework, revision) and separate blocks for applications. Having it written down and planned took a lot of the pressure off as I was chipping away at each aspect each week. It also made it easier to see how many applications I could realistically manage without falling behind. There's no rule that you have to hit a certain number - I'd say a few well-crafted applications are better than spreading yourself too thin! University deadlines are fixed, so don't feel guilty about prioritising them - especially since you usually only have one chance to complete the assessments. You can fit applications around the non-negotiables once you have a clearer structure - even a handful of strong, focused applications is enough to give yourself a good chance of securing a VS. Hang in there - you've already made a solid start! Best of luck with your uni work and applications :) [/QUOTE]
