I'm cooked and need advice IB SA2026

Hi everyone I'm cooked.

Background context- Target school, did some networking (~40 mid convos), 3.5 GPA

I just started technicals and only submitted apps a few days ago. I've received a few Hirevues + the GS Hirevue that's due in 2 days and haven't scratched half of the 400 Q guide. Is there stuff I should prioritize within the next 2 days to give me the best chances? Would appreciate any advice

How cooked am I
