<p>I am planning on applying ED at UPenn. I know the deadline is Nov. 1 but is the sooner the better? Or as long as it is in by Nov 1 everyone’s chances are the same? Thanks.</p>
<p>As long as its in, everything is in play. Remember, the clerks spend much of the time filing and getting the information into their systems. So the admission officers don't actually see the application until a few weeks after the deadline.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the help. Now i can spend a little more time checking and rechecking and then re-rechecking my essays :)</p>
