I’d wait. Don’t wait for the last day (Common App can go down under heavy traffic!), but wait until a week before. Let your app rest for a couple weeks now, then print and review carefully with fresh eyes. My kids’ essays got tweaked over the course of the application season, and were better for it. Don’t rush. And maybe something will come up to add.

If something worthy of adding happens after you submit, just email admissions and ask them to add it to your application. They will do that.
