<p>What is the difference in the deadlines!? What's the negative of sending it before the 15th, but after the 1st?</p>
<p>there is no advantage, just the adcoms want something to do after they're finished reading all the early applications and want to look through some regular apps before the deadline</p>
<p>dont worry about when your turn the app in, worry about the quality of it, that's what matters most</p>
