My previous Schengen application was rejected, so this time I wanted to do everything properly. Going through the checklist for a Poland visa specifically (not a generic one) made all the difference. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. If you're nervous about the forms, just get this. Only downside was I had to refresh once, but nothing lost.
