<p>So everyone's saying for rolling admissions we should apply as early as possible. But if a college like UMich and UIUC has a priority deadline of November first, will I have an advantage if I apply today rather than on Oct 30 or it doesn't matter since all applications before priority deadlines are read together?</p>
<p>Please? This isn’t a very hard question.</p>
<p>No, it’s not a hard question. For UM it’s on their website of all places (I’ll let you do UIUC yourself):</p>
<p>[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: Early Response](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/applying/earlyresponse.php]Office”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/applying/earlyresponse.php)</p>
<p>“We will begin reviewing completed applications in late September and we will begin releasing decisions in early November. All applications are reviewed using the same guidelines we will not be awarding priority in the review of an application simply because it was submitted for Early Response. While there is no advantage in the review process for completing an application before November 1st, we continue to urge students to submit application materials early for the benefit of receiving a decision quickly.”</p>
