<p>I just couldn't get a good essay going, so i just decided to submit later.</p>
<p>Why didn't you submit by December 15?</p>
<p><em>Raises hand.</em>
Same problem here, trying to come up with brilliant essays is very, very hard.
But I plan to submit within a couple of days and am really hoping I can still get an interview.
Probably will all end up in rejection and wallowing in self-pity---but, hey, I can say I gave it my best shot at least.</p>
<p>Me! I can't write brilliant essays so I'm going for personality, but finding something good to write about is hard! I'm aiming for this weekend though.</p>
<p>pff I haven't even started writing my essays. RELAX. We have time. <em>smiles with some hardship</em></p>
<p>I didn't either. I will by next Monday, though.</p>
<p>lmao, sonicexx!</p>
<p>Better get started sooon...;)</p>
<p>I submitted the Common App by Dec. 15th, but I waited til today to turn in the supplement because I was working on the "what did you do with your summers" essay thing.....</p>
<p>The December 15th date isn't a deadline. Why is everyone so anxious to get it in by that time?</p>
<p>wait you can send in just your common app to get the interview? i can do that; its just the summer essay thats getting me stumped.</p>
<p>summer...ESSAY? isn't it just listing what you did over the summer?</p>
<p>to be honest, im not really sure. i used to think it was just a list, but then i saw other posts here talking about essay format...i dont think it should matter that much, but hey its just another opportunity to show who you are as a person i guess. it is stressing me out though :)</p>
<p>^ agreed. I don't think it will hurt you if you list it, but I'm looking for anything and everything that can help showcase my writing ability and personality...etc.</p>
<p>me. I got deferred @ yale... to be honest i was expecting to get in and so i waited :)</p>
<p>It said on the CommonApp that it should be submitted by the 15th, whoever asked that.</p>
<p>i havent sent in my transcripts and whatnot but I was contacted for an interveiw</p>
<p>It said "we encourage", not "this should be submitted".</p>
<p>My goal is by Jan. 1.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten my app in, either. I'm using Pton's app, and the essays are killing me.....</p>
<p>Yeah Dec. 15th Princeton wasn't even a school I was looking at. I wonder when I'll send in the app...</p>
<p>Why does it even make a difference as long as you get the app in by 1/1?</p>
<p>OMG Procrastination me 2!!! hehe. i felt bad at 1st but i just had this good feeling that i was getting in. i guess it's just my wishful thinking.</p>
