Drat
Johnson had to be pushed back to Round 4. Wasn't able to make the Monday deadline because one of my recommenders couldn't submit his rec in time. How disappointing.
Another lesson learned. I could sit and make excuses, "But my recommender is in Asia! But I had a, b, c, d to do on top of these apps! But I...!!" But no. If all of you can make these deadlines, I should be able to do so too.
It's time to do some damage control.

I understand what it feels to postpone apps because someone else didn't have the time. I had to postpone my Wharton app for the same reason.
As for the task ahead, you might try taking a few days off work, if thats possible. It seems to work for me.
Good luck
I don't think you should be so hard on yourself, you are applying to a long list of schools! Also, I am quite sure that if you submit the application by the deadline, it will be considered for that round even if the recommenders don't meet the deadline.
IWMI, that's the longest R2 list I've seen, but you're cutting through it like a buzz-saw gone wild. You'll be just fine. Stay neurotic - it helps :-)
WOW! I never realized you are applying to that many schools! I am impressed by your willpower and motivation alone! I agree with the people above though...you cannot always have control over things, it is not your fault when people flake. Good luck chica!
There's a Chicago GSB mixer (alumni/2nd years) in SF tonight (pier 28, Embarcadero). If you're interested in attending drop me a note. It is from 6 to 9. I'm sending out invites to other bay area bloggers, let me know if someone else is interested as well.
There is a THICK line between anxious and abnoxious :)
I just noticed your headline/tagline/punchline, it's good, I like it.
Its easy to get frazzled with all the tasks, deadlines, and hoops to jump through. Prioritize the apps, focus on one at a time, give it your all. You will make it!!
Thanks so much!!! The sooner you apply the sooner you can join the admit party!
