deadline question

<p>My parents think it is better to submit the application as early as possible even for colleges that are not doing rolling admissions. So they are mad at me for sending my applications just before the deadline for Rice University and Georgia Tech. I told them that those colleges process the applications regardless of the applied date as long as it's by the deadline. But they think otherwise, and I'm frustrated. But was I right?</p>

<p>bump???</p>
