<p>On the Harvard instructions sheet, it said they would prefer to receive the applicaiton and supplement by oct 15, but the essay i could give them later on a separate sheet of paper in a separate envelope. Is this true? Also, i am deciding to send the app and supplement electronically, but on the commonapp.com it says that i need to send the whole application, including hte essay, all at once. But i don't think my essay will be ready by oct 15, so what should i do?</p>
