Do people usually get better chances if they apply by November 1st??

I heard from lots of kids that early action maximizes one’s possibility to get in.

I will probably apply for the regular decision if this is not a case at Purdue.

I think that is the case for most schools, especially if you want something like engineering. Spaces go first to people who apply by the deadline. Purdue is starting to release decisions tomorrow, even before the deadline.
