<p>I'm not talking EA/ED
I can't help but think that if you submit your application before the Nov/DEC rush that you will have an advantage when it comes to admissions. I don't think ADCOMs are just going to sit around after they tour. Doesn't it make sense that submitting your applications as early as possible will give you an advantage. I just sent in Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, and MIT today, so it may just be wishful thinking.</p>
<p>Unless you're working with rolling admissions, submitting early gives you practically no advantage since no application will be reviewed prior to the deadline.</p>
<p>I know at some colleges, housing is by priority, so the sooner you submit the application the sooner you can register for housing.</p>
<p>Admissions officers aren't sitting around after they tour, but they're not reading applications either. At MIT at least, admissions officers won't start reading applications until after the EA deadline; Matt's</a> blog has some details.</p>
<p>Unless the school is rolling admissions(Mostly state schools), they don't read applications until after the deadline. so you won't have an advantage for submitting it early</p>
<p>what the?
you sent in app to Princeton etc. summer time?
who does that? did you get your reccomendations yet?</p>
<p>Have you written all of your essays, too? Or have you just submited the basic information sections?</p>
<p>Thats what I'm planning on doing for Columbia. Just sending in the basics like name, adress, email, etc.
Application for admission #1</p>
<p>I had everything written I knew the prompts from last year. I am super busy with football 6 hours a day throughout august until school starts, so truly no time for apps.</p>
<p>thanks for info molliebatmit, maybe I should have held out</p>
<p>I talked to my teachers in the springtime about recs, so it was all taken care of, I just sent them packets today in fact.</p>
<p>WHAT?? but I thought MIT wasn't even out yet...</p>
<p>Came out yesterday 11 AM EST</p>
<p>It won't help in non-rolling admissions, but I'm still doing it. I just don't want to worry about interviewing and writing essays my senior year.</p>
<p>WHAT THE HELL omg they said it would be out late august!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>omgomgomgomgogmmogmg i'm late!!!</p>
<p>it wont help per se but your essays/app will probably be of better quality than if you did them in between hw and ECs or whatever. i'm finishing all my stuff before school starts thats for sure.</p>
<p>How about sending a single sheet late december updating them of what has changed between when you submitted the app and then?</p>
<p>rightttttt</p>
<p>1MX I respect you for turning in your applications early because of football etc. I respect that alot
Once Columbia's app comes out, its over.
I'm going to be the first early decision person to turn it in</p>
<p>You know the essays from last year? I mean come on, turning in a well written application first has to show our interest, right? I probably should have applied to columbia, oh well, too late now. 8 school should be enough</p>
<p>I think one of the colleges you applied too should've been an early decision school because I'm not trying to be pessimistic or anything but Harvard is notorious for its mass rejections. same goes for Princeton, MIT etc.</p>
<p>&& yeah thank god they don't really change the essay topic. Did you not apply to Columbia because they're application did not come out yet or they just didn't interest you because its still not too late</p>
<p>Hold up, Princeton's application isn't out till Aug 1st</p>
