<p>Can we pay before submitting either the common app or supplement to a college? I want the payment out of the way so I can just refine my last supplement without bothering the parents</p>
<p>You HAVE to pay before submitting the commonapp to colleges.</p>
<p>You can submit the supplement before paying, however.</p>
<p>So I can pay, then submit my app whenever before the deadline, right?</p>

<p>Not true; it varies from college to college. Stanford, for example, requires that you pay before you submit, but other schools don’t.</p>
