I'm in the same boat. It's hard to work on R2 apps while being stressed out about R1 apps.

Finished my R2 essays today. If I get dinged from Chicago this week, I'm ready to hit "send"...

If I'd known how hard it would be from picking up that GMAT study book to getting an admission offer, I don't think I'd have bothered!

I can relate to all of you guys . . . this period before R1 decisions come out and R2 applications are due is agonizing.

Some classic country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1WRDD0Z8jc and a few budweisers has me mellowed out enough :flower to work on my single rd 2 app without worrying about the three rd 1 decisions (one certain ding, two possible admits) and 4th rd1 interview i've got coming up next week.
