Which do colleges generally see first?

<p>The CA or the supplement?</p>

<p>Can you even send the suppl w/o sending the main CA?</p>

<p>They wait for all pieces of your application to arrive before reviewing your file, so for practical purposes, they see them both at the same time.</p>

<p>Any chance you’ll elaborate on why you want to know? That might make answering your question easier.</p>

<p>Lol sorry. I was wondering because the quality of my CA and supplement essays are different (CA being better), so I was hoping It’d be a marketing advantage if they read my CA first</p>

<p>Yes, they can see the supplement if it comes first. But… I think they wait until they have the whole package before they actually read/review it. I don’t think sending one before the other makes a bit of difference.</p>

<p>Maybe not, but I’d think that they want to start out seeing someone with a good essay - a good first impression, if you will. And btw, I’m hoping my CA comes first</p>
