<p>Two questions here:</p>
<p>1) How bad is it that my S1 misread a short essay question on the supplement to a top school and sent in a response accordingly? Is it possible to retract it in any way and re-do??</p>
<p>2) Also, is there any drawback to sending in RD applications last minute versus say weeks or months before the deadline? That is, does it come off as a negative in any way even though it still arrives before the deadline?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Anxious and worried parent.</p>
