<p>The NEU supplement is really short, no extra essays or anything... so I'm already done with it now. So theoretically, I could already send it in and they would see that I'm interested. How do you think that will look for a college, if I send in my supplement a few weeks before the common app? Or is it best to wait and send them in around the same time? They already have my scores, cause I used the free score reports, since I was pretty confident the scores would be good enough for NEU.</p>
<p>Advice? Should I send in the supplement now or wait?</p>
<p>It’s fine to send the supplement as soon as you are ready. It does let the school know you are interested. That alone won’t give you a leg up in the admissions process, necessarily. But, sometimes it will put you in a position to get invited to a reception in your area or other events where you can meet admissions representatives in person, and that can help your application.</p>
<p>just found my applicant checklist i picked up when i visited the campus in august. says “Completed Common Application and NU Supplement submitted simulaneously”. guessing that means i can’t sumbit the supplement that far ahead, but thanks anyway.</p>
<p>During Open House, I asked them what they thought about the fact that I sent in the supplement already and not the Common App and they didn’t care that much.</p>
<p>i submitted the supplement a week before the common app and i got an email from NEU saying “we got your supplement, please send in ur common app by nov. 1st” and i did and now i’m just waiting till december</p>
