<p>Ok, well, I'm applying to a few of my schools online via the common app website. Anyway, since my school sends in my transcripts, recommendations, etc (and does so on, around, December 23rd), should I submit the online application before they send out the transcripts, recommendations, etc, or will putting everything together be an even bigger pain the southern hemisphere for colleges? I want to get everything done now, but unfortunately, my school is too slow for that to happen..</p>
<p>..Any help is greatly appreciated..</p>
<p>If you're done with your application, send it. I don't think it matters if you send your application a couple of days after your school sends your transcripts, though, I did that for one college. Personally, I'd send the application first, it seems like they'd be able to process everything faster.</p>
<p>Send it now, it does not matter which they get first.</p>
