1. Start early with the whole damn thing. The process is tedious and you will rely on others to help. This should ideally happen in a positive, constructive environment without time pressure. If you are forced to put stress on your supporters due to approaching deadlines, this creates a lot of frustration on the other end.
2. In that context, be mindful that even filling the application forms, which seems a very straightforward and easy thing to do, will take a considerable amount of time as you should ideally also tell a story within these forms, esp. employment history. Also, make sure that you flip through these forms once in advance as they sometimes ask for stuff, which you probably do not know from the top of your head but will have to to research (e.g., for Wharton in my case, graduation year of your mum&dad)
3. For the education section of Wharton (but also for HBS, Kellogg, etc), you will need to upload trancripts for each of your study programs (master, bachelor, etc.). Transcripts must include grades for each and every course, so start hunting for these bits of paper/pdfs. If you don't have proper English transcripts, you can also submit self-reported transcripts as xls which are available as preformatted files in the application portal. Plan in some time to fill these out dilligently.
