<p>Alright so I am applying to GS for Early Action. The application is due March 1st. My question is, can I submit the application in two parts? I want to submit part 1 of the application now so i can have my teachers send recommendations and have my transcripts sent, while I still have time to perfect my essay. Does anybody know if Columbia frowns upon this? Also, once I submit the application, will they call me to take the GS admissions exam or am I supposed to call them to arrange an appointment? Any answers are much appreciated.</p>
