When to submit application?

<p>For most of my schools (MICA, SAIC, Parsons, KCAI) I have my application done. The questions are answered, the essays are done, etc. My teachers are currently filling out letters of recommendation, but there is one problem...my portfolio. It's not done yet. Mostly done, but still doing a few observational drawings. </p>

<p>My question is can I submit all of my application stuff now to get it out of the way, and then my portfolio in a few weeks? Or is it better to submit my application materials once I have my portfolio ready so I can do it all at once? </p>
