<p>as of right now, im really confused in regards to the date of December 1.</p>
<p>is December 1 the deadline for any part of the application? or is it simply the date when they start reading applications and i have time to send everything in later?</p>
<p>Your best bet is to go to Harvard’s application site- there is a detailed application timeline of important dates for applications. December 1 is the Priority Deadline- that is, the date they would like to have all your materials in, so they can begin processing and reading them. </p>
<p>However the firm deadline is the later date, Jan. 1- postmark deadline for all your materials.</p>
<p>I encourage you to study the admissions site–there is where you will find the most accurate answers.</p>
<p>Fauve is right. Don’t ask strangers on a message board for the answers to such an important question.</p>
<p>If you still don’t understand after reviewing Harvard’s site, then call or e-mail Harvard.</p>
