<p>Keeping it brief:</p>
<p>Can I pay the application fees before submitting the application? All common app schools, btw.</p>
<p>Yes you HAVE to do that. You have to pay your fees first and then submit the application.
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Ah, thank you! So if my application is incomplete, I can pay the fees now and send it in, say, a week later, right? Nothing will automatically submit?</p>
<p>Yes…its okay…You an pay the fees now and send the Application later. But not the other way round.</p>
