You have the foundation for a great application. In addition to my earlier advice, I think you should start creating outlines for frequently asked essay questions so you can hit the ground running once the applications are available. You can usually find application questions from previous years via an internet search. Typically, the questions don't change drastically from year to year so you can get an idea of what you will be expected to answer.
