Step 25

Choosing Your First Submission

Many students spend a long time preparing and organizing, but eventually the process requires action. 


The first submission is often the hardest because it makes the application process feel real. 


After that, students usually find the remaining steps easier to approach.

Core Idea

Progress becomes easier once you begin.
