<p>I know the deadline for regular decision is jan 15th
but on commonapp.com it says that the supplement isn't due until feb 7th
is this true??</p>
<p>not sure... but I think hand in the apps sooner the better</p>
<p>We are trying to give you time to work on the supplement after the completion of the common app. Students are more savvy to the supplements now than they were a few years ago, and like you, many of them now know to plan time to get them also done by the deadline, however there are some students out there that aren't quite that aware, so we're giving them a bit of a break. If they first hear of the supplement when they submit the Common App, they need a little time to give it careful attention. That's the reasoning for the gap in time. We'd rather have the supplement earliler, though. We won't read you till it is here, so it helps to get it in earlier. </p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
