Does it matter how late?

<p>Is there any disadvantage to applying last minute (like right up at the deadline)? Are there less spots to give acceptance to? And do they read on a rolling basis? A little nervous at how late my son is getting it together here (swamped with schoolwork this whole year). Thanks--</p>

<p>It does not matter when an application is submitted, just that it is submitted prior to the application deadline. I highly recommend a student not wait until the last second to submit online, because in previous years there has been server issues with so many students submitting the last minute. </p>

<p>The admissions counselors have no idea when an application has been submitted and if we did it still would not matter to us.</p>
