<p>Okay, so I was reading through the Stanford supplement (I'm applying Regular) and it says that I need to send in the supplement WITH the common app...</p>
<p>I'm applying to Caltech and MIT early, and I have to send in my Common App for Caltech (which I'll do within the next 2 days) - I haven't even STARTED on the Stanford supplement! </p>
<p>no, and you don't need to submit the common app to Stanford just because you're submitting it to caltech and MIT. The common app asks you to specify which college you want to submit to any time you hit submit. So you can do caltech and mit this month, and Stanford whenever you are ready.</p>
<p>So you can wait to submit to Stanford till you have the supplement done, and submit both, though it's a separate submit step for each anyway.</p>
