<p>Does applying now (Oct. 24) for the Nov. 1 deadline hurt you? More so than, say, if I had submitted my application 2 weeks ago?</p>
<p>**You are seriously over thinking things. ** Submit when your app has gotten your best efforts. Period. </p>
<p>There will be people who apply on Nov 1 that will be accepted and people who have already submitted who will be rejected.</p>
<p>Doesn’t matter, as I understand it they make multiple cuts on the application piles by region before making decisions.</p>
