<p>Well you don’t have to do all of your applications at once, so how about this? Start out doing KU and OU to get them out of the way (or if they don’t open until later, just go down the priority ranking).</p>
<p>Just build a list of schools and rank them by how important it is to you that you manage to apply to them. If you have that, then you can just adjust it around your schedule and get as many done as you can by your personal deadline. There’s still plenty of time for flexibility- and given the stresses of first-semester senior year, I think it’s something worth having.</p>
