<p>Okay... so i used the common app and i had noo idea there was an optional essay. i submitted my app yesterday, and today is still technically the deadline... but how are we supposed to submit the optional essay??? there was no space in the supplement for it so i don't think i could have submitted it that way even if i had known about it! I can send it on tuesday, but do you think it would be better to not send in the essay, or to to send it in late??</p>
<p>Mail it.......</p>
<p>hey same thing happened to me today. I just sent them an email and put it in the mail today. hopefully, it was the right thing to do</p>
