two questions...
1) Do you think it would look excessively bad if I submitted my application the day it was due...NOvember 1??? I'm kind of neurotic about editing essays, and think that an extra day could actually help...
2) Also, contrary to most people here, I have a very extensive book list from the past year (about two pages more/less) and a lot of my books are pretty academic/rather obscure (ex. Arabic Thought in the Liberal Age, Political Suicide in Latin America, Development With a Human Face), so I need to include the authors. Would it hurt to attach an additional booklist in "additional information"?
Also, what should I do about books written in other languages...?

lol kiwiskimo, that's what I thought it was (referring to Broadway).. unfortunately, my interests section is not like super classy or anything. I'm going to list tv shows and films (but mostly movies).

Has anybody else noticed that even though it says the First Year application is currently unavailable you can still login as if everything was normal?

i don't think ur book list will be THAT influential...
and the additional info space is for stuff that is extremely important in their understanding of you as an applicant.

to answer above question: I put a book that I read in French, and I just left the title in French but added the author. He is pretty well-known though so it wasn't that much of a problem.
I wouldn't add more books in the Additional Information section. They're just curious about your interests, they're not going to reject you because you forgot to mention that you read War and Peace or something.

I heard a Columbia admissions officer answer the question about books, she said that if books was a really big thing for you that it was fine for you to use a list of the books you have a read as the additional information. Maybe if you could add a little one line thing on why you really enjoyed that book it would make it more personal.
