<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I have a small dilemma here. I was planning on submitting the application to the cornelius vanderbilt scholarship program, which has a deadline of december 15th.</p>
<p>I am just wondering whether my full common application is also required by this deadline, or if I have until january 1st to complete it, and just need to submit the online scholarship app by the 15th.</p>
<p>No, it’s not required by the scholarship deadline.</p>
<p>Should we still send the Common App very soon after the scholarship app?</p>
<p>No, you only need to send in the scholarship application in by December 15th. I don’t think there is an advantage in sending your complete app in very soon after the scholarship deadline unless you have worked on it as much as you have and cannot improve it much more by the RD deadline in early January.</p>
