<p>I am currently on winter break and I return to school on the 5th, and so do the councilors who send transcripts, but most of the schools I am applying to have a deadline of Jan. 1.. Can I apply and send my transcripts after the deadline? Or should I not apply?</p>
<p>You can send SAT scores, essays, letter of recommendations etc., after the deadline. Transcripts can be sent later, as well, but make sure you get them in as soon as possible. </p>
<p>Even if its the common app?</p>
<p>Yes. The only thing you need to submit by Jan. 1 is the common app and writing supplements. Everything else can come later.</p>
