"....we prefer that you submit the supplement as soon as possible."

<p>Don’t worry too much about submitting the supplement literally ASAP. As long as it’s in before the deadline, they’ll take it. Of course, it’s always better to get it in sooner rather than later, but it’s not something that necessarily needs to be done over the summer. I didn’t touch a college app until September, and still managed to get all eleven of them done in a timely, relatively stress-free manner. That being said, if your kid really wants to get it done, then by all means, let him or her work on it, but if he or she just wants to enjoy the summer, that’s fine too.</p>
