[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]  Thanks [/quote]

If it's a supplemental piece of the application (things not within the applicant's control, such as teacher recs, SSAT scores, etc.) and you can give them a firm date — "I talked to our school and you'll have the recs by Friday" — you should be fine.

If it's information within your family's control, it's a problem for schools that have more applicants than they can accommodate. Most of them will, as a PP noted, only consider the application after they've completed the first "wave." At the most competitive schools, that makes it nearly impossible to gain an offer of admission, absent an unusual circumstance. Other schools vary.

Hope that helps.
Peter
