<p>Just wanted to doube-check whether it was okay to submit the optional essay with Part II of the application on Jan 10th? It says's so on the "Apply Online" section of the website but I can't find a similar statement elsewhere. Anybody know for sure?</p>
<p>It should be fine.</p>
<p>I am applying to Tufts using the Common Application. The following deadlines relate to regular decision: The deadline for the Common Application and supporting materials, according to Tuft's application instructions, is January 10. The deadline for the Supplemental Form is January 1. I hope this helps you out!</p>
<p>Where did you find the optional essay? There's a place for additional information on the supplement, but I don't see anything else.</p>
