<p>Ok, so I just finished reading the speech. Is it recommended that I try to connect this with something that changed my values or how I approached the world? Does the speech itself need to be addressed at all. Thank you- sorry, I just want to confirm before putting effor into this.</p>
<p>Also, gibby, is there a recommended deadline for regular decision applicants? I read somewhere that Dec. 15th is recommended and that I should try to submit before then, or my application could be negatively impacted.</p>
