When should additional stuff be in by?

<p>I was thinking of writing an additonal essay and getting an additional rec after Jan 1 when my other applications are gone...</p>

<p>There's just this clear divide: Princeton | Other places. Can't do them both.</p>

<p>It'll be okay if I send it say mid-jan or so, won't it?</p>

<p>Yes, the deferral letter (I actually saved mine :)) said we needed things to be in by the end of January. So mid-Jan. is no problem...</p>
