<p>anybody else here frantically getting an essay or recommendation finalized before the Nov 1 deadline?
i've written like 5 essays in the past couple months....all of them horrific. this last one had better be good because i have no time left.</p>
<p>would admissions people hold it against us for sending something in at the last minute?</p>
<p>me too.</p>
<p>arghhhhhh</p>
<p>The Moment of Truth is almost upon us. The Tidings of Deliverance shall arrive on December 15th.</p>
<p>don't remind me.....laughs.</p>
<p>I know of how big of a procrastinator I can be so I made sure I sent my application 2 weeks ago =D. don't stress too much over your essays tho. I spent about 3 hours each on my essays and they turned out to be better than I would have thought. colleges usually want to read personal essays that show who you are so just write about what's most important to you - shouldn't be too hard. good luck!</p>
<p>Go Harvard! Though Im applying to Stanford SCEA. lol</p>
<p>Since I knew I was applying EA to Harvard, I went ahead and wrote my essays towards the end of the summer, and handed out all my rec forms about a month ago to avoid stressing.</p>
<p>Try your best to get it in by the deadline is all I can advise. They have one for a reason. Good luck!</p>
<p>Luckily I have a couple of schools I know I can get into besides Harvard where I'd be happy, so I'm not so pressured for December! Hope to see you all next fall!</p>
<p>Anyone NOT submitted their app/supp yet? I just did mine minutes ago, and found that my essay had this huge grammatical error. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>I have yet to submit my app. I will do so either Monday or Tuesday...</p>
<p>gonna send my essay Mon........</p>
<p>By the way - when they say Nov 1st deadline, do they mean Nov 1st 11:59 PM is the last moment you could send your app - or Oct 31st 11:59?</p>
<p>If you live in storm damage areas, you have a two-week extension, with appropriate documentation.</p>
<p>lol...to be technical COLORFULPIG.....:)</p>
<p>Why... I never.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>zuma, how did you hear about the extension? do you know whether it applies to wilma victims as well as katrina victims? we got hit by wilma and lost power for a week. miami is still recovering. no school for two weeks. the last i heard from harvard is that they were considering only individual situations as they applied to wilma, and not implementing a broad policy like they did for katrina.</p>
<p>Try and get it in on time of course, but I don't think apps coming in a few days late are tossed in the trash!</p>
<p>But they'll make some sort of negative impression don't they? Besides, there's a chance half the class are filled when your app finally comes :-S</p>
<p>ontolome, Katrina is two weeks. You're right, Wilma is case by case.</p>
<p>Still working on my essays. Gonna send everything out on Monday. Oh man...</p>
<p>What do you mean that Wilma is case by case? I live in Naples; the eye passed almost right over us. We lost power and school for 6 days. I want an extra chance to get in another essay.</p>
