<p>My kids got all the school paperwork in well within deadlines. Older son didn’t hear until mid Dec that he’d been deferred for his top college choices, so then he had more supplements to write than he had hoped. It worked out fine as I think he was possibly better off where he ended up. Younger son drove me crazy - I remember Tufts had a later deadline then the others and he told me he wanted to have fun with the optional essay so was going to wait until he’d done everything else before he tackled it. He did a great job with that essay despite my aggravation - well worth the wait.</p>
