<p>im helping my friend apply RIGHT now..i hope he gets it done before deadline! lol</p>

3

<p>it has to be postmarked by today i.e 5 pm</p>

4

<p>he's doing it online.</p>

5

<p>but then his supplementals are screwed. you should check into that. they have to be postmarked by yesterday</p>

6

<p>Add me ....</p>

7

<p>you dont need supplements if youre doing the online app. I did it too and I didn't need any. Unless youre talking about his letters of rec, etc, and about those, he called rice and explained the situation--he's fine.</p>

8

<p>ah ok - was talking about the letters,etc. if he talked to them, then he is ok</p>

<p>i plan on sending some commercials i make with my mid - year report. good idea, apollo?</p>

9

<p>depending on what your intended major is, then yes! if it's something like an engineering field that has NOTHING to do with commercials..then NO. lol.</p>

10

<p>haha. well it is actually economics or political science, but they show creativeness. they really are impressive. one (that i did for loreal paris) may show on nationwide tv</p>

<p>so you still think yes?! lol</p>

11

<p>of course. but dont forget to write a paragraph explaining your supp. material!</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

12

<p>Ooo yeah! I almost forgot to add my paragraph. Just explain why you chose to submit that piece over something else and WHY IT MAKES YOU UNIQUE. Try to make your supplemental material something completely different, but don't go too far.</p>

<p>h it is different. thanks for the input and i look forward to seeing some of you guys next yr in houston (i hope!)</p>
