First off, congrats on the amazing score and profile!

  1. What to focus on next: If you're not too familiar with the application process (what schools are looking for, what goes into an effective profile/"story"), I'd recommend researching the overall process. The /r/MBA wiki is a decent starting point. During my admissions cycle last year, I read through some of the bookmarked threads on gmatclub (lotta info) and also read Paul Bodine's book. In hindsight, doing both was information overload; one is enough. It should take a couple days to a week but it'll help you have a very clear understanding of how to proceed and formulate a road map that works for you.

  2. Supervisors: Perfect. Start trying to find the questions for the recommenders online. Most of the top schools have similar/same questions but some are notably different. If you can aggregate these for your recommenders including the deadlines, they'll greatly appreciate it. Regardless, you're gonna have to go into each application portal and send them a unique link for each school to fill out. Schedule time to sit down with your recommenders 1-on-1 to discuss your candidacy. If you've done the research suggested above, you'll have a good idea on how to approach this.

  3. Resume: Depending on how yours look, B-school resume might be a little bit different. They're gonna look for evidence of teamwork, leadership, and career advancement. So if your resume doesn't already emphasize these points, it might need slight reworking.

  4. Time: Your first applications will take longer and your final ones will be quicker. My longest application took over a month (it's hard to know when to stop rewriting). My last ones with overlapping questions took about a week.
  5. 10 schools: Definitely do not 10 in one round. If you attempt 10 in one round, the questions will be so different that you end up compromising on quality. I'd either do your top choices in round 1 and safeties in round 2, or a mix of reaches and safeties in each round. 3-5/round is ideal. Start researching the schools and seeing which ones you really like. This should help you trim down the list from 10. Having your list ranked by personal preference will help you identify where your priorities are.

  6. Additional to-do's: Get onto the school's mailing list so you know when they are doing admission events in your area or nearby. Try to make it to these events so you know the schools better and can answer the "why school x" questions. If time/money permits, try to attend campus events (probably won't start backup till the fall near Round 1 deadlines).

    Best of luck!
