Yes, just a time management thing more than bravery - application season for round 1 happened to fall within a busy work period with travel, and wanted to submit solid responses to essays in round 1 to two schools.
Straight after submitting started working on second round essays (Said/Oxford full-time MBA and Chicago Booth part-time MBA in London) (but only very draft- luckily INSEAD covered pretty much every topic other schools ask so have a good working version to start with!) with recommenders on alert that I may need them to complete additional recommendations.
One more week!
