Uh Oh... Problem Submitting Application?!

<p>I checked off that I was submitting the arts supplement, but via paper and just sent it to Bates today (or rather, yesterday).</p>

<p>Common App informs me:
This institution requires that you submit the following before you can submit your application:
Art Supplement</p>

<p>Does this mean that it won’t let me submit until Bates registers that they’ve received my arts supplement?</p>

<p>My understanding is that it doesn't work like that. You can submit both at the same time. My son tried one school out of order and all he had to do was send the supplement first and then the app right after that.</p>
