<p>I got an email from UVA saying "we're already reading applications" in December. I plan on turning my regular decision application in on the deadline or a little bit before it (early january). Would my chances have been significantly better if I had applied by late October or November? I've been worried sick about it.</p>
<p>Oops, my bad. There's a completely similar thread just a little below mine.
Sorry!!!!!! (But advice on this one would be most appreciated too. Thanks!)</p>
