So I know this may sound like a dumb question, but I asked my guidance counselor and he is clueless about this. If I plan on applying EA to only one university through the Common App (I’m applying RD to the other six), do I need to finish the supplemental essays for the other colleges before submitting the Common App? I have finished the Common App essay and the supplement for where I am applying early, but do I have to finish the others before submitting?
I believe you only have to finish supplements for the school you are sending to right now.
@PlasmaQuiksilver you can submit your EA application and not the others. Just make sure the supplement is done for that school and that before submitting, you mark the the EA school on your dashboard. The RD applications can be sent anytime prior to the deadline, but make sure you mark RD on the common app/supplement.
No - I’ve already submitted my EA application and I haven’t even started some of my RD supplements. You submit the application for each school one at a time.
