General Questions Regarding CommonApp

<p>I have some general questions regarding how college apps and CommonApp works:</p>

<p>1) I plan to have all my parts of the application submitted by October 13th, but I do not want to pressure my teachers to submit their parts by any sooner than they need. Harvard's early action page says the due date is November 1st but that the recommended submission date is by October 15th. Will they see that I have met that recommended date or will they care that teachers might have submit it late. Basically, will they judge me if my teachers submit it very close to the deadline or is it "worry about your part, teachers will worry about theirs" kind of deal?</p>

<p>2) Can the CommonApp be edited after submission? If I get my SAT scores back, can I add them in even after I submitted the CommonApp to the colleges?</p>

<p>3) When should financial aid be applied by? Is that process done independently after college apps or is there some supplementary form to go with CommonApp?</p>
