<p>Of course any of the following has a fair chance of occurring if you wait to the last minute: (a) your computer will crash; (b) their computer will crash; (c) you will profess how much you love Yale in that essay you accidentally send to Harvard; (d) you will get to the end of the app and a counselor’s form will pop up and say you need to get it prepared and sent by your counselor by the deadline date.</p>
